Headaches come and go, and believe me if there were a contest on the worse ones I would be in the running for winning it!
I used to suffer from allergic migraines, sinus and a myriad of different quality ones from late teens to late twenties.
Well over the last few years I do believe my sinus issues have come back, and you know something?
I never ever missed them.
Last night’s was a contender in the pain wars of that sort of thing, and so not being able to take decongestants or over the counter medications due to my blood pressure problems although medicated and under control.
You read the small print.
Any-who, I have had to become creative with pharmacists and doctors help in how to deal with these exhausting headaches that not only make you feel as if you want it to be amputated since in my particular case as in last night my eyes burn, nasal passages too, and nausea is quite evident, and did evolve from there…
Oh, my methods of dealing with the problem, my Systane eye drops, saline nasal spray, when that fails my Netty pot, and yes, we are on city water, not a well where they had some type of ameba claim lives via the nostrils. That would be my last straw, literarily.
Moist towels/ washcloths were tried too and nothing was helping and yep, you got that right I could not fall asleep, misery.
Then I remembered I had the Amoxicillin that the doctor had first prescribed in August for this same problem that has seemed to become chronic but then switched me to a faster anti-biotic pack, but I still had the never used bottle in our cache medicinal closet in the kitchen, and so I took one of those too!
Within the hour my nausea turned into vomiting and diarrhea, difficult maneuvering to use the appropriate disposal fixture in the bathroom…need I say more?
I did impress myself with my dexterity in not missing for either ends disposal of whatever was in my system for the last twenty-four hours to be removed!
That’s as graphic as I will get, this went on for hours… but I finally was able to return to bed with many pillows under my head and I suppose from shear exhaustion I did fall asleep.
This morning or I should say late morning Hubby checked on me to ask me if I wanted to eat so I could take my daily medications.
I just looked at him and tried to speak but my voice was horse and shaky, but I did say that I would need milk to take some of mine, which are supposed be taken with food.
This shaky voice things has continued all day and so has the headache, but I still took another anti-biotic pill without the same negative reaction, and I am due again within the hour, they are 500 hundred milligrams to be taken every eight hours and so that is what I am doing, until all finished.
I think I told you that the doctor we were both going to left the area and so we again do not have one, but I did get an appointment for next week at the health department.
I’m just happy I had this medicine available now; another hospital visit would be not cost effective!
My head is saying again that I am done with this for this evening and so allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you to count your blessings and share those overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
