I don’t have much to say, but I did want to report that today I took two Excedrin for the first glimmer of a headache that I’ve had since last Thursday! Almost a week without a headache! And this one went away quickly. 😀
If I could only express what a huge deal this is and how much it means to me! I really can’t put it into words, but my mood have been elevated over the past week, I’ve been much less anxious (for the most part) and I have felt more relaxed than I have in quite some time.
I don’t know if it’s the Neurontin that the neurologist prescribed or the work with the psychologist or both (most likely), but I think I’m starting to feel better! I did my “homework” this weekend and wrote a letter to my Pap. Oddly enough, once I signed my name to it, I actually felt a sense of peace. I shed a lot of tears in the process, but I feel less intense in my sadness around his death now. My next psychologist visit is tomorrow morning and my next neurologist visit is next Thursday, so I’ll have had a slew of eventful Thursdays over the course of a month when I’m done! I’ll give a report after tomorrow morning’s visit. Here’s to hoping that it won’t be as teary an experience as last week! 😉
Congratulations for that! 😀
And one reason to feel better is that fact that your body isn’t exhausted because of continuous headaches – they do drain your energy, no matter how used to them you’re.
Congratulations on this stretch of headache-free-ness! I am shaking my pompoms for you! 😀
Oh Jenna, this is such wonderful news. If you knew just how HAPPY I am for you my friend! Thank you so much for telling us!! 😀

Woot! I really think this multi-prong approach to headache relief is going to pay off!
I’m so happy to read your progress is going well … we can beat those nasty bugger headaches, oh yes we can! Hope everything continues – I can feel the positive vibes and relief all the way down here {hugs}
Awesome!!! Awesome!!! I hope those headaches just go away for good.
I’m so glad that the headaches are finally easing – that’s great news! Long may it continue 🙂
