I just need to keep tracking. Even if I'm not weighing in as often, I should track what I eat and I need to keep tracking my headaches. I miss my friend but life must go on. I just need something to remind me to keep drinking water and keep eating the right things. I got this, I got this.

So it was a bad weekend. I felt pretty good health wise; that wasn't the issue. But a very close friend of mine died. He was just 23 years old. It's just heartbreaking. I'm shattered and I turned to ice cream for comfort. It was stupid I know, but I just needed it. My SO was a rock star. He dropped what he was doing (Saturday night), got ice cream and came and sat with me while I cried and cried. We just watched cartoons and he let me talk about my friend until we finally went to sleep. It was so nice. But yeah, not a great weekend. Just trying to keep moving forward.

OKAY. So, I'm reporting back from the neurologist and the psychiatrist. First of all, the neurologist was shocked that I had been allowed to take Imitrex daily in order to deal with the head pain. He told me that taking it daily like that is known to cause recurring/rebounding headaches that often escalate and get much worse. So, chances are, that's what I was feeling this past Saturday and all this past month! Ugh.
He wasn't able to give me a clear diagnosis, but thinks that it could be migraines or could be neuralgia. He says it's always hard to determine with head pain.
In the meantime, he prescribed me Topamax, and I took my first dose last night. Maybe it's just the premature placebo effect, but I feel good this morning! (Also it's Friday!) I can't wait to get going into the next few weeks and see what kind of an effect it has on me.
My psychiatrist and I bickered a lot yesterday about reducing my Prozac (he wants me to get off of it, I don't), so that wasn't pleasant, but I'm going to stay on it for now at least. I don't want to change too much at once.
But overall, I think it's a good update! I feel good this morning. I'll be seeing the neurologist again in a few weeks to check up on how I'm doing with the Topamax and we'll go from there! Thank you for the support everyone!

I fell off the wagon yesterday, but today I'm going to get back on track. I don't want to weigh myself quite yet just because I'm sure between my cheat day yesterday and the strange combination of medications that I'm just all over the place. So, I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning and again this weekend.
Tomorrow I get to see the neurologist, finally! And my psychiatrist! Hooray! Hopefully I'll get some answers about my headaches and that we can be aggressive with treating them. I can't have another episode like Saturday. That would put me out of work and that's not really an option at this point. I think I'm prepared for the appointments. I have all the paperwork and copies of most of my test results (I'll be picking up the copy of my CT scan today). I just worry that only getting a half hour with the neurologist isn't long enough. I know they're busy and that I'm just another patient but I hope he's able to give me the time of day I need to get better.
Thank you everyone for the support! I'll write an update tomorrow or Friday I'm sure!
