She is 80% better though I love to tease her about being forgettful. Hope you find the help you need since you can't find therapy in a Diet Coke anymore. That would be enough to give me a headache!

That one didn't really help... We're still trying to figure out what will, but they've lightened up a lot since the beginning of May. (Except this last weekend. Had a WHOPPER start Friday night and the tail end of it is lingering still. *sigh*)ANYWAY... Different things help different people and if something isn't working for you make sure you discuss that so they can switch you to something that will. Your doctor should have samples, too. If the Topomax is having the NEGATIVE side effects, you should call your doc and switch it. The side effects are listed as things to watch out for. Not things to deal with because of it. They are POSSIBLE effects... <br /><br />Keep a headache diary... what kinds of things you ate, if you were out in the sun, etc... Maybe you can figure out your triggers. (Bright light is a BIG one for me.)You've probably already gone over all this FUN STUFF with your neurologist.)<br /><br />There is something that helps me a bit sometimes. Do you live far from Lisa? (Which would mean ME... since we're just a couple blocks away...) Let me know!!<br /><br />Thanks for letting us know you're still alive and kickin'!<br />Keeping you in my prayers!!

I don't suffer from them, but have friends who do. I can't imagine how rough it must be to deal with ongoing pain. At least labor pains stop long enough for you to take a breath. <br /><br />Doctors need to stop worrying about how to make movie stars look even weirder with botox and find help for you!<br /><br />Thanks for checking in even if it hurts to open your eyes.Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655189620056032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058669311925760898.post-71715176787240464202010-08-10T15:48:36.580-06:002010-08-10T15:48:36.580-06:00Not sure if you know this but Topamax is kind of l...Not sure if you know this but Topamax is kind of like Tegretol which is an anticonvulsant but also used as a mood stabilizer.
