Talked headache/migraine with doc

I went to see the pain doctor on 1/22. It was actually a nurse practitioner, but I have to be seen to get the meds each month. She asked me if my migraine meds still help, because they do sometimes stop. I told her they do help. My biggest problem is deciding if the headache is a migraine or something else, since I've had tension headaches as long as I've had migraines. I do get sinus headaches too, if I've been sick, but not as common as the other two. So, she then shot off the medicine reorder to the doctor since it is a medicine that has to have a doctor sign off on. Fun fun fun... And we have bad weather coming in, isn't that just an addition to our life... I had been hoping it wouldn't make it here, but it looks like a steam roller of ice headed our way! I hope all of you who are in the storm's path, like I am, are set for a bad weekend. And the rest of you... how are you doing?

The word has been thrown about, but they are mostly talking about ice. Texans, you see, have a take on weather. When it is sunny and warm (hot) they drive fast. When it rains it means speed up and if said rain freezes they lose their collective minds.

@ElicBxn That sounds like what they do here for the first snow fall. They forget how

Sometimes my forehead hurts and I know it’s a sinus headache. But then it morphs into one side of my head and becomes a migraine. It’s annoying!

@ElicBxn That’s me too. I’m so sorry you get the global ones! They all make me throw up, which I hate.

I get it. I tend to have 'global' migraines, so it is the whole thing. But rather than a sinus headache mine tend to start with stress. Even when I don't have anything to stress about, I still get stress headaches.

That is good that you got more meds.

Yeah, the meds are for the pain from the fibromyalgia, and I am very glad I can get them. I have known people who get them and take a few, but if I end up skipping 2 doses, I'm going to be sorry.

I'm glad they re-upped your prescription for you. We got sleet/ice first and now we're getting snow on top of that. Luckily, we got groceries on Wednesday and don't need to leave the house until February 2nd or 3rd when I have another doctor appointment.

I've got food, so I'm not worried about it, and since I still don't have a car...
