It's been a busy week!

Last week was very busy for me. It was my husbands birthday and I put together a surprise birthday dinner for him. We had a great time!

It was also a busy week on the Migraine front. I think I was hit about two times, plus 3 Tension Type Headaches. I was lucky enough to keep the Tension Headaches as Tension Headaches, and not let them trigger yet another Migraine.

We also went to see our friends band play. Around this time of year, every town has their "day", so Insouciant played Jefferson Day.

Then, we have my husbands band, Annoying Customer, that is working their first EP. The recordings are all done, now our friend Bryan is just mixing them so they sound like the masterpiece they are!

Tomorrow I go to my neurologist. I am looking for new preventive medications as I am off the Topamax and Amitriptyline.

So tomorrow I will write about my doctor visit. I am hoping it goes well.

What you do when it all comes crashing down.

So I had a great run this time. I went 17 days migraine free. I was not even done with my "migraine euphoria" post yesterday when I felt the beast start to dig it's claws into my head.

I have to say, it was not as bad as I thought it would be, head wise....but the nausea - oh man - all day long!

The one this I was really upset about was I actually had plans last night - yes, me - LEAVING THE HOUSE plans!!! Shawn and I still went out....my migraine had calmed down by then, but I still had the side effect of my postdrome.

Ok raise your had if your flesh aches after taking Frova!!! I swear it is the strangest side effect ever for me, I can take it considering that the Frova attacks my head and knocks out that migraine in a matter of an hour, but why does all of my flesh hurt after????

Sounds strange right?? It used to just be the back of my arms ached - now I noticed it's all over that I ache after taking it. I used to only get achy if I had to take two doses, now I notice it on one.

Please dear God don't make the Frova stop working!!! That is my biggest fear!!!! I can take the flesh pain!!! Yeah, all of my skin, and under it like the meat on my body aches when I touch it....I don't know...it's gone today and so is the migraine so I'm happy about that.

Ok, well onto some other exciting things. Yes, I'm going to plug some of my friends here so consider yourself warned!!!
