Can I whine for a minute?

After a so-so weekend (DH had his old roommate in town whose main goal is always to consume the greatest amount of alcohol possible, and DH never tells him no) yesterday went well. DH actually went to the grocery store instead of me (and got me tulips) and I cooked for the week and crashed early.

But that freaking cold is still lingering, and I had a coughing spell that was so bad it triggered a killer migraine. A migraine that caused me to be up all night throwing up. My phenergren suppository didn't even help! It was the most intense pain, I can't even begin to describe it. So I had to call in sick (and use one of the two PTO days I've accumulated.) 

 DH was sweet enough to come home at lunch and bring me fries then go to the pharmacy for some medicine my doctor called in. It just frustrated me that I didn't hear back from the dr until then (12:45) because they rarely answer the phone and don't check messages until 12. So I could have felt better several hours earlier, but didn't hear back forever...

Finally feeling better, the headache is now manageable, but my shoulders hurt from laying around all day since I couldn't lay on my back, I was so nauseated. And now DH is exercising (I told him to go), but now I wish he was home just to have the company. At least the cat had a nice day. We snuggled all day long.

Thanks for listening if you've made it this far, I just wanted to share with someone, but didn't want to post on FB and didn't want to call a friend and bother them on Valentines Day. It just also worries me regarding TTC and what I will do with the migraines when pg. I'm hoping Mother Nature will get rid of them. And I just feel so depressed when I'm in so much pain for so long. Wish me dust that I feel better and can get back to work tomorrow!

Re: Can I whine for a minute?

  • I'm so sorry you're still not feeling back to 100% from the cold and all the ickiness that it caused.  I hope your DH comes back and is super sweet tonight, and you are feeling like a new woman tomorrow.

    I can certainly understand your fears about pregnancy and your migraines.  Hopefully the hormone changes will give you 9 months of bliss! 

  • Ugh- that's terrible, I'm sorry.  I know how you feel, though.  If you are interested in a different neurologist I ? mine.  Her staff is very professional and responsive, and we've made a lot of progress with my headaches.

    DH and I are both worried about my migraines when we TTC as well.

    I hope you feel better soon.  Maybe Ibuprofen will help your muscles relax? 

  • :( Hope you feel better soon!  None of that sounds fun.  I hope mother nature takes care of them for you, too!
  • Aww. I'm sorry. That sounds like absolute hell. I can't offer much help. I had headaches but they were jaw related. I have to take a muscle relaxer every night or I'll end up getting headaches.
  • Thanks guys. It was just a supremely sh!tty day, and I felt even worse and isolated being alone and in pain all day. Today was much better!
