Migraine still hanging on

July 2, 2008

This blasted migraine just does not want to give up without a fight let me tell you. I phoned in dads medication this morning asked if I could ride along with him to the drug store so I could find something else to try and take. I asked the pharmacist and he recommended the Excedrin Migraine. So I ASSUMED we were coming straight home. OH no it was joy riding around for cheap gas. My head was killing me and all I wanted to do was come home and take my meds. So as I sat in the car as he ran into Sams Club to put money on his giftcard he uses for gas, as you know they were a whole four cents cheaper (yes we drove around 20 minutes to save a whole FOUR cents). So while I was sititng here I was reading the box with all the warnings then read the dosage is 2 geltabs. Then it said do not take more than TWO geltabs in 24 hours! ARGH. So after he pumped gas he headed to McDonalds for coffee so I tossed him a little cash for a coke and a hashbrown so I could rip that blasted box apart and take my meds!! They helped but this migraine did not totally go away, still letting me know “hello I am here”! But I am stuck not taking anything until tomorrow now.

All I know is I was really close to going to the E.R. WE have a copay of $100 dollars if I go! BUT if they did a CT scan and other testing it be covered that way. My doctor could not get me in until the middle of next week! OMG no way! Needless to say I need to look for a new doctor. I need one who actually LISTENS to me!!
