Tonight I got the worst migraine I have had in months. I gave myself a DHE shot, waited an hour or two and it did nothing! Grrrr…………
So I took a Dilaudid and waited another 2 or 3 hours and still nothing.
So I took another one which started to kick in after another hour or so.
On top of that I was coughing/wheezing and had to take my inhaler.
It seems that usually when I take Dilaudid it amps me up a little bit and so does the inhaler, thus that is why I am still awake @ 2:27 a.m!
I know most everyone with migraines goes and lays down in a quiet dark room. If I did that I would live my life there and be subjected to all kinds of thoughts in my head; so instead, I watch t.v. and keep the volume down low. Then, if I get tired, I will try to sleep. Being distracted by the t.v. and sleeping don’t require a lot of exploring your thoughts…………so that’s how I roll!
During my t.v. watching, Sam came and sat next to me and rubbed my hand and arm. He asked me if I was hurting. He was such a sweetheart giving me comfort and compassion. When I see these character traits in my kids it reminds me that a health condition that I could tend to frequently view as negative also has a flip side.
The last 2 or 3 days have been a bit rough Prednisone-wise. I am really hoping today (Friday) will be great!
