When...I ask when?

When will I wake up headache free? I am so sick of taking pain meds, zombieing out, no energy, no desire to get things done and the things I need to get done keep piling up. Worrying if the headache is more then just from the pipeline, having to wait 10 weeks to see if it worked for sure. I hate taking pills! Get some mysterious cut between my toes causing a staff infection leading to yeast infection GRRRR! enough I say, enough!!! Plavix, aspirin, blood pressure, Tylenol, antibiotics.... Having doctors say I should not be still having headaches...well, I do you idiot... how would you know what I should or should not be feeling I am the second person you put a pipeline in. I just want to know when...docs say should of been by now, group people say 12 weeks, 1year, 3 years still having them... Nightmares of having to go back in surgery and doing it all over again, and again, like some ground hog's day movie... keeping me awake at night, waking up at 1am, 3am, 5:30am...I need to sleep all night please! Dear sweet Jesus please heal me so I can glorify you and testify to your miracle. I want to be pain free, I want to feel alive again, how much do I need to suffer? Going on since mid July...let it be over please!

Now I have to go to work, put a fake smile on my face, pretend I am doing well...sorry to be a Debbie downer but GRRRrrrrrr! Frustrated this morning from lack of good sleep and having to function halfassed...not my style...

Tired of not having money...Dear sweet Jesus your word promises a future, prosperity, joy and happiness if we believe and have faith in you...I do... please bring relief so we can pay our bills, feed our family and have some fun without having to do the money juggling to survive. So tired of struggling, what do I need to do to receive your favor? Show us your favor, let there be a ton of Avon orders come online, let the door always be open with computers coming in to be fixed, so much we have to hire help, over flow us with business...or you could make it easy and let us win the lotto :-).

Alright friends have a good day, I will try too. I am late for work now so I am sure my husband will be calling asking where am I lol. So glad I have a place to share and vent with others who understand because if I shared this on FB or with my husband they would not understand. I do not need to put more burden on my husband, he has enough.

Peace, out

Be Well Be Blessed

Camille, so sorry you are going through this. Did you ever suffer migraines before your surgery? I know many have had the migraines come back with a vengeance after surgery. But others have started suffering migraines after surgery as well. My neurologist told me that the surgery can kick start migraines and the cycle has to be broken, not with pain medication. The pain medication can sometimes mimic the migraine which perpetuates it and causes our brains to get in the habit of having migraines. You need to get a referral to a neurologist that specializes in migraines. There are medications that are preventative medications. I tried 2 of them and they worked very well. I still had headaches but not nearly as bad as the debilitating ones. There are some side effects to both of the ones that I was on and I wasn't too thrilled with them. My neurologist told me that she wasn't happy with how they were working because I shouldn't have breakthrough headaches. I started Botox treatments in June for migraines and I'll tell you, it has made a huge difference. I have only taken tylenol once now since Aug 11th. I get very faint headaches that don't last long and 5 or 6 that I need to take tylenol per month now. I go for my next treatment this month. Your first start is to get the referral to the neurologist and they will help find the best treatment for you and it is all done without pain medication.

I am praying for that miracle for you, as well.
