I don’t have much to say, but I did want to report that today I took two Excedrin for the first glimmer of a headache that I’ve had since last Thursday! Almost a week without a headache! And this one went away quickly.
If I could only express what a huge deal this is and how much it means to me! I really can’t put it into words, but my mood have been elevated over the past week, I’ve been much less anxious (for the most part) and I have felt more relaxed than I have in quite some time.
I don’t know if it’s the Neurontin that the neurologist prescribed or the work with the psychologist or both (most likely), but I think I’m starting to feel better! I did my “homework” this weekend and wrote a letter to my Pap. Oddly enough, once I signed my name to it, I actually felt a sense of peace. I shed a lot of tears in the process, but I feel less intense in my sadness around his death now. My next psychologist visit is tomorrow morning and my next neurologist visit is next Thursday, so I’ll have had a slew of eventful Thursdays over the course of a month when I’m done! I’ll give a report after tomorrow morning’s visit. Here’s to hoping that it won’t be as teary an experience as last week!
Congratulations for that!
And one reason to feel better is that fact that your body isn’t exhausted because of continuous headaches – they do drain your energy, no matter how used to them you’re.
Congratulations on this stretch of headache-free-ness! I am shaking my pompoms for you!
