I think that posting 30 minutes on the treadmill is just mean. Now I'm feeling guilty. I think the rule should be no one is allowed to post they excersice.!!!

I know! But, I post it just to make myself do it! It's a sad compulsion I have to mark everything off!!!!

DIT - which Precor do you have?

It's an old one. It's the 5.21i. We got it years ago and it's a great machine. My DH is a big man and he didn't like the smaller elliptical machines, he wanted something like they had at the gym we used to go to before we moved here. It takes up a huge chunk of my scrap room, but I wouldn't use it in the garage because most times of the year it's too hot in there to work out.

My appointment was well but I'm sure and still numb... but I will get through it... haven't eaten or drank much and probably need to soon...but don't want to cause additional pain...but it is what it is... and it's taken care of now.. thanks for asking.

Went to bed early with the headache, woke up with it too. I'm feeling better now (loads of caffeine), but I'm sick of the stupid headaches.

Jennifer I think it's time to be talking to your Dr. I know they need to adjust my meds when I get them like that.

What does your dr. have you on? I've always used Imitrex, but it only works for me if I take it with excedrin. I started getting daily migraines about a year and a half ago and my dr. sent me to a nerologist in December. She believes that on top of my regular migraines I am getting rebound headaches coming from the Excedrin. I guess Excedrin (i <3 Excedrin) has 3 drugs that are addictive and if taken more than a couple times a week cause migraines. They have been trying daily meds to reduce the migraines and treximet for when i get them. Don't know what your taken, but thought I'd pass on my treatment.

 

[morgansmom2000]

I'm not on anything for the migraines (and haven't been for years). I've really got to give it up and call the doc. I have been weaning myself off my anti-depressant and it may be that I need it more than I thought

When I was on migraine meds, it didn't matter what it was, because 99% of mine were full-blown throw up kind, so it never stayed with me. Sorry if TMI

Jennifer mine are hormone induced as they flucuate during the month i was dying mostly related to Aunt flo the BC although I hate meds has made a HUGE difference. My body becomes used to those hormones and I'll get break through ones that's when I know it's time to switch them up.

Is there any chance you are peri menopausal? One of my friends started that at 39-40.

 

[Lisa AF]

Not tmi. They actually put me on a low dose of an anti-depressant daily to try and control mine and when my niece went off hers she had daily headaches. There are some great drugs out there now like Imitrex. You should call the dr. or come to my house, lay on my couch, I'll feel sorry for you and feed you my RX meds, (and we'll watch Disney planning videos).

Hope you feel better today.

 

[morgansmom2000]

I'd love to come and watch Disney planning vids! Unfortunately, Morgan's room is torn apart and we are working on tossing and cleaning so we can get to painting!

I'm pretty sure I'm peri-menopausal (unfortunately, we don't know a lot of family history because my mom had a hysterectomy at 37, and most of my sisters have too). Couple years ago I was getting the "visitor" about every 18 days or so. So completely horrible. They did some blood tests and found that I'm probably not ovulating. Doc put me on BCPs, but the estrogen-based ones gave me supreme headaches (while it helped the PMDD and regulation, it made the headaches worse), we tried non-estrogen ones and they didn't work at regulating at all. So, I got an IUD and I really haven't had a "true" visit from AF in about a year (it's normal, and I can keep the IUD for 5 years). So, my body thinks I'm PG and is "relatively" happy now. I'm hoping the anti-depressant isn't needed since I'm not PMSing 10 out of every 14 days.

So, there's my life in a nutshell
