survey says.....
wellllllllllllll i just got back from the neuro - seems to always be a combined trip to the pharmacy. there were 3 things i needed to talk to him about.1. depo. my primary care physician wants to put me on depo-provera. we can't seem to get these cramps under control! my neuro says some ppl.'s headaches get worse with birth control of any kind, and some people's improve. he said go ahead and try it, we'll keep an eye on things.
2. weight gain. i've gained about 10 pounds in the past 2 months, and i blame cymbalta. other than the weight gain i love it. but.....it's not cool. this is enough weight that my clothes don't really fit, and what if i just keep gaining and gaining.....like i said, not good. neuro deferred this question to my psychologist (psychiatrist? i don't know).
3. finding a preventative. we're going with the migraine expert's advice on this one, and adding a baby aspirin and verapamil. i've tried verapamil before (but not at the same time as tegretol) and it didn't work - obviously. but the migraine expert didn't feel i had a long enough trial, so we're tryin' it again!
for those who are interested; later this week i see the headshrinker, and in a couple weeks i see the pain clinic again. my hopes, as always, are high for the preventative trial. my fingers are crossed. :)
the pink chihuahua princess was kind enough to notice that my digital piano should have been delivered by now. it has been! pictures are forthcoming! :)

a quick sunday post
tomorrow i'm going to go see my neurologist again. it's been a while. i'm looking forward to it, and will of course update you all here. :)also, my husband introduced me to a really fun and ADDICTING game - this from his friend....
check it out and let me know what you think of it!
also, i'm kind of bummed tonight; earlier i went online to check out where my voting site was, and as it turns out, i'm not registered! i know i registered, but it must have been at my previous address. sooooo i don't think i can vote during this set of elections! i'm a doofus! online, it said you have to register 15 or more days before the election. if anyone has any ideas or really knows the ins and outs of registering, let me know. i think i'm out of luck, though. will have to register now for next year's elections.
well, more tommorow after i've talked to the neuro. :)
