I'm not having a good day today. Last night a moderate migraine turned into a massive throbbing so I did the benadryl/compazine/DHE injection like my headache specialist prescribed when I left the hospital and it didn't work. I had just done this on Saturday and it worked on a milder migraine but I guess this one was too far gone. I had trouble sleeping because of the throbbing, and woke up feeling just as bad as the night before. As soon as I could I left a message for my headache specialist requesting a call back but he was off today so I didn't hear from him until late afternoon. The resident at the hospital wrote out the prescription for the DHE wrong, it said no more than 3x per week instead of per day so I've been holding off when I could have been taking additional doses to see if they would work.
My headache specialist mentioned that when I see him at my next appointment on Monday that we're definitely going to have to adjust my preventive medications and I knew that was coming, I do hope that doesn't mean I have to wean off/on any new medications because that process is really frustrating. I'd rather just increase the dosages of the medications I'm already on. I'd also like to discuss the possibility of trying botox injections instead of lidocaine the next time I get trigger points.
I've been keeping a headache log but it's just so pathetic, I have not gone one day without a headache since I started it on Saturday and I often have to make multiple entries in one day.
