27 Days

Up until last Friday, that’s how long it had been since my last migraine! I seriously cannot recall in the last 10 years when that has happened.

Now, I got Botox right around the Half Marathon and then…tragedy struck…I got the absolute worst all-day-couldn’t-get-rid-of-it migraine the day before. We even had to make an emergency trip to a CVS because I had taken my last Imitrex. Fortunately, the morning of the marathon it had gone away.

And Friday was the first day I needed to take an Imitrex since that refill.

Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s been a near miss “Can I hold out and sleep it off?” kind of situation on a few occasions. I’ve still been suffering headaches every day which are mainly due to my sinuses.

However, in the past 4 months (since I figured out the correct dosage and placement for the Botox injections), I’ve gone 10 days without any pain medication (in a 24 hour period) and, in the past 30 days, only taken 1 Imitrex.

That’s what you call a BREAKTHROUGH!

Let’s file this under “Miscellaneous”

I feel like absolute crap thanks to my 4-day plus migraine so this will be brief.

1. Eddie is safely in Germany. Sadly, I missed his pre-boarding phone call because I went hunting for Clint in a torrential downpour.

Yes, my husband went on a long bike ride despite the fact it had been pouring buckets off and on all day. I eventually found him…3 blocks from our house.
