Hospital

I had a migraine tonight that I couldn't get rid of so I went to the hospital.  I wasn't discharged until almost 2am and now I can't sleep.... and I have to work in the morning.  And I know for a fact that lack of sleep is a trigger for my migraines.  It's like a vicious cycle.

Here's what I was given at the ER (the combination was pretty effective)...

1. Norflex through IV
2. Zofran through IV
3. Tramadol pill (taken orally)
4. Percocet 10 (taken orally) 

It was a pretty good little combination.  But it's left me WIDE awake :/  Annoying.  Really fucking annoying.

The good news is, however, that I think I am teaching these ER staff members that these migraines are real and there are people like me who genuinely suffer on a regular basis with very little relief.  But other than the migraines, things have been going well-ish.

Lately there have been some issues with my heart.  I've been experiencing tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), inflammation of the heart, chest pain, and abnormal EKG's.  I don't know what all of this means, but I do have an appointment with a cardiologist at the end of this month to run some tests.  But in my heart, I really don't feel like it's anything serious.  I actually think it's just anxiety.

I was going to cancel the appointment because I truly believe that it's nothing, but my husband wants me to go just to make sure that there isn't anything wrong... so I'll go.

It's just crazy because it truly is one thing after another.  It's so hard to even believe.  And if I'm having a hard time believing it, I'm sure others around me think I'm just plain nuts.  It's crazy.

Anyway, I'm going to peace out because I'm hungry.  So... until next time...

Peace Out, Homies!
