Hey Wireman:
Thanks for checking in on me. I've been recooperating from a MAJOR migraine. I had it on Thursday, and it took me until today to feel better from it. It was that severe.
I called my Dad crying and he came over with some Phenegran (i had already taken Imitrex and Advil) bcuz he has had luck with that helping his migraines in past. Well, it didn't work for me. I actually threw it up. Then i threw up again all over my bedroom carpet. It was the worst migraine i've ever experienced in my life. I started praying for God to take it away, but after 4 hours of NON-STOP pain, so bad that i couldn't sit still, i began praying to let me DIE!!! Seriously, that's how bad it was.
After 8 hours of the worst pain imagineable, it let up.
I began wondering if i was having an anneurysm or something like that, bcuz i really didn't think it was possible to be in that much pain and NOT have it be something life threatening. Even if it was just that my blood pressure had to be soooo high from the pain that it soared into dangerous levels.
So the next day i was beat down to the ground from the pain and all medication i took. I took 3 Lorcets (got them from my Mom) and took another 2 Lorcets the next day when i started to get another one. Thankfully, it went away, and I wasn't taking any chances on triggering another one of those, so i didn't care WHAT i had to take to feel better.
I pray that i'll NEVER have one of those again.
But, I know why i got it. I woke up Thur. morning in withdrawals. Sneezing uncontrolabley, weak, diarrhea, etc..... So i thought i'd go to the pool and "sweat it out". Thinking i could sweat out some toxins and also do some leg exercises in pool to help with cramping in legs.
Well i didn't bring any water, and i was out there for an hour in the HOT Florida sun....so basically i dehydrated myself and it triggered the MOTHER of all migraines. I now know that I can handle anything, and one day when i'm facing going into labor, atleast i'll know that i've made it thru that one migraine that i begged to die over!
Went to my girlfriends husbands funeral today.....such a horrific tragedy. He was so bright and intelligent and loving. He left behind his wonderful wife and two beautiful children under the age of 3. So so sad.
It really puts things into perspective and wakes me up the the fact that ALL WE HAVE IS TODAY.
So i'm back on track, went down to 1mg a few days ago. I've taken those Lorcets a few times, but not enough to have to detox off them.
I hope all is well with you, it's good to see your happy posts! Stay strong and keep the faith! :angel:
