Today, I am migraine free! I know, I know, I may be celebrating early, but right now I'm happy just not having the feeling that something is clawing it's way through my skull to escape. Work has been nothing short of a nightmare recently, the mere smell of surgical spirit knocked me sick, my head spinning and thumping like a bad pole dancer, my balance nearly shot. So far I havent had to use the Super Meds prescribed by my GP, and with each slight indication of an incoming attack I pray I don't have to ever use them....especially as they are the most expensive tablets I've ever had to buy!!! If they work when I need them it's fine, but what if they don't? Just like the others?
Also, what is it with people changing their attitude towards me now because of the appointment? I've been having these migraines for nearly ten years and all of a sudden I'm being told to take it easy by friends, family and colleagues - just because I have an appointment with a specialist, changing habits now won't help. Last week I was still running around as though someone had stuck explosive devices up my rear end and no one blinked an eye. Perhaps I just have a thing about being treated like an invalid when I know I'm not, or perhaps I feel a bit cheated by people wanting to "look after me" when they could have tried being more compassionate over the past few years.
