I am a pill popper, have been all my life.
No, not like a Valley of The Dolls character.
Headache pills.
Ever since high school I've carried around a little bottle of
various headache meds., aspirin, advil, motrin, sinus pills etc.
My friends joked that I was a walking pharmacy.
But it was no joke.
I always had headaches and I've had 4 major migraine's.
Paul has been asking me to please see a doctor but I never went
because, hey, I'd always been like this.
Dylan also gets headaches. I never really though much of it but
two weeks ago, I think he had a migraine.
He was in the shower crying and when I went to check
on him he asked me to turn the light out. Tell tale sign.
I gave him some Motrin and put him to bed.
He has an appointment with his Ped. tomorrow.
This also prompted me to see a Neurologist.
Guess what....all those headaches I get.....
they're migraines.
I guess it's not normal to have 3-5 headaches a week.
How was I supposed to know??? This has been my life.
Well, Dr. Wonderful prescribed something for me to take
as soon as I feel a headache coming on and you know what....
IT WORKS!!!!!!!
I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!
I can't believe I don't have to have headaches all the time, even dull ones.
I'm going for an MRI on my brain this week.
Dr. Wonderful doesn't think there's anything there but just wants a pic.
Well, I hope there's SOMETHING in there.
If not, it will explain a whole lot.........

It's hard to remember, but as a rule, feeling like crap is not normal. Good thing you're getting checked out...hope they find the normal brain stuff, and no little voodoo pins in there.
well...glad to see there's a light at the end of your headache tunnel! i can't believe you've gone for so long with all those headached! OUCH!!
I use to get mirgraines often luckily I don't any more. I think my level of stress is downsince then. Imitrex helped me a lot.
glad you got something to help!
I can relate -- you know when they are coming most of the time and you are always just one minute away from the pain! Good news you have some relief!
Amazing what modern medicine can do, eh?
Ooohhh,headaches suck. Glad to know you finally have something that helps, let us know how everything turns out.
