beanside2007, you are so on notice. I've just about had it with you, year. And we've barely gotten started. Shape up, immediately, got it? Stop picking on me and mine.
Whining ahead, fair warning.
So, we've got the crappy primary care doctor of doom. Working for a doctor, I tend to treat myself for small things, and for big things, I go to the appropriate specialist. I went to her for a physical last year, she seemed to be okay. *shrug*
This year, when I went with Jess, she seemed less thrilling. She didn't think Jess needed any tests for her migraines, just gave her imitrex pills. Problem with stuff like imitrex is that it has to be taken at the onset of a migraine. Jess tends to wake up with them in full-force. At that point Imitrex is basically useless.
I called her for Jess on Tuesday, because I'd found some info on a nose spray that looked promising for Jess' type of migraines. Called at 8:30 a.m. Called back at 3:30 pm, after Jess called, to say she was going home early with a vicious migraine. Finally got a call-back at 4:45, she was calling in an oral med, called Midrin.
I picked it up, and it did help a little. Jess was able to sleep and felt a bit better. So, yay!
Got up yesterday, and the migraine was back. Took the Midrin, and nothing. She had PT, so we headed off for that, and she started puking in the car. Said fuck this, and went to the GBMC ER. Four hours and an iv of Reglan later, she felt better, went from a miserable little ball on the table to a little sleepy drooling ball on the table.
Went home so she could sleep and by nightfall she was migraine free. Now have a happy prescription for Reglan as well. Hopefully, that'll hold her until the Neuro appointment in March. *nod*
Of course, now I'm the one with the headache, and the stiff neck. *shrug* But I'm glad my baby's better.
