Migraines

So, if you have known me over the past 18 months you know that I started getting migraines at the age of 31-ish. They came on fast and furious and tried to take me out. I struggled to find medication that would keep them from coming while still trying to rid myself of a constant migraine that lasted over 6 months. I was in and out of the hospital for rounds of IV drugs and then finally admitted to the hospital for three days for round the clock IV drugs. Today, I am finally managing my headaches with daily medication and prayer. I've gone a good 6 months now without a migraine and then over the past month I've been struggling. What happens with me is I get just a little headache that I barely notice but it just won't go away and it just starts to get worse - like ebs and flows. Any way, I've had a headache and it won't go away. I can't tell you how much I HATE going to the hospital to get IV drugs. I dread it. It is the worst feeling in the world being drugged and trying to function and counting on people to (my husband) pick up the pieces I drop when I am debilitated with a headache. I just pray that this in not the beginning of a new chapter in the book of Erica's migraines. Will you pray with me??
