Upcoming appointment

Well, it's that time again...

It has been 3 months since my last neurology visit so this Friday it is time to go back to get some real treatment this time. I have been detoxing off the Depakote for the past three months and have had nothing to stop the headaches except the occasional (maybe not so occasional sometimes) tylenol migraine. 

Through these 3 months I have been in tears because I was in so much pain and even took a trip to the ER one night after not being able to sleep the night before due to all the pain. Let me tell you... the ER is not a fun place (I never thought it was), but the medication in taken as a shot in the muscle is VERY VERY painful! In the end they did work and we went home and I slept for... oh about... 2 days! (That was amazing!)

So, the hope and plan when I go to the neurologist on Friday is that he will see that his non-treatment did not work and we will move ahead with the botox injections as originally discussed with my doctor in WA. 

On a side note I called my regular doctor to get a refill on some prescriptions & to ask for additional visits with my neurologist. I received a phone call back saying that I need to come in (the only appointment they have is at the end of the month) the reason... "It's been a long time since we've checked your lipids" I find this funny because none of the medications I asked for has anything to do with my lipids (cholesterol) and my doctor is unaware that I stopped taking my medication 3 months ago so my lipids will be through the roof. HA HA HA!   This should be an interesting visit!
