I need to write myself a bit of an apology. I'm sorry I haven't been faithfully tracking my eating. It's bad practice and certainly won't help when I go see the neurologist and psychiatrist next week.
But here's why: the headaches haven't stopped. Every day it's still there. Sometimes it moves but it's always near the front of my forehead. Even though I haven't been tracking it faithfully, I have been staying hydrated and I've been eating mostly keto friendly food items. My energy level is all over the place, thanks to the pills.
First I was prescribed Tramadol and Prednisone. Neither helped very much.
Then I was prescribed Butalbital-Acetamin-Caffeine. That made me feel depressed and I spent a lot of time crying over nothing.
Then I was prescribed Rizatriptan. It helped but I was only given 12 pills, and after taking two a day, I was out in less than a week.
Then I was prescribed Sumatriptan (Imitrex). It helped as well, but I was only given 9 of those, and taking two a day I was out in just a few days.
I'm unable to get refills of those at this time because it's too soon. So NOW I have a narcotic nasal spray, which is just awful. It dulls the pain but it tastes terrible and only lasts a few hours. It's been making me feel light headed and dizzy and unfocused. I don't like it but it's my only option right now.
Oh, and with all that, I've been taking Amitriptyline, which knocks me out at night and makes me feel super groggy in the morning. Also one or some combination of all these pills is making me feel like I'm starving.
And with all this, I've been afraid to get on the scale. I just can't face it right now.
Next week can't come soon enough! I plan to ask about Topamax. I've heard good things about it.
