Monthly GP Status Report

Well, I haven't noticed much clear difference in headaches since the last visit, and told him so. Perhaps some mood improvement, but it's hard to tell (sadly I feel I may have developed PMS at my advanced age, but...as noted: hard to tell).

He's given me boxes of Namenda (anti-Alzheimer's meds which some people find drastically effective as a prophylactic) in case my September 5th appointment with the migraine specialist involves putting me back on. He's also upped my Depakote to 500mg 2x a day, and Celexa to 20mg 1x a day.

The exciting bit, though, is injectable Imitrex.

Okay, not that exciting. And I know I'm going to have a bitch of a time deciding which headache warrants it. But I want to know if it makes a difference, since the last big idea (Frova) didn't at all. It may be a little while before I find out, though. GP suspects that insurance won't approve it right away.

I finished off my Percocet prescription right on time, so that's re-upped for the same amount. I am, however, going to shift how I take it, hopefully to result in taking less.

Basically, I intend to give up more. Instead of trying to muddle through at home I'm going to give up and go to bed more often.

I'm not sure how much "more often" is left, but I'm stopping teaching or pretending to train on Mondays, so that's a start.
