Interesting Days

4/7/15 -- I will try to keep this as encapsulated as possible.  The last couple of weeks have been rough and interesting because my "migraine" has been really taking a toll on me in way shape of form.  I had emailed Dr. C. J. Smith about it but when I had not gotten a pretty quick response, I figured he was on vacation, had no idea it was a 2 week vacation. I wish someone in his office would have let me know that.  A nurse actually called me last week after having spoken to him and we discussed 2 options that Dr. Smith proposed, she was writing down what I told her so that she could go back to him with accurate info. Then she would get back with me as soon as she had spoken to him.  Long story short, the dose of Topamax has been increased to 100mg in the morning on top of the 100mg that I take at night along with the scheduled appt to see a Neurologist, yipee.  Just what I want to see a brain specialist.  I just hope that he can find something to figure out on how to deal with this pain, cause I don't really want to take any more medication, any of the stronger classes that involve the other types of side effects that I am sure I don't like.
  Then this past Saturday, I ran into someone at a retail store and she something to me that took me completely wrong.  She didn't mean to say anything to offend, irritate, or hurt me but it did. Sort of.  What she said just sent me down a road that I haven't been down since last July.  So, not a good thing.  Then my headache just began to take over again, I couldn't go to do something at church on Wednesday night cause I was in so much pain. I heard from my regular Dr. and he suggested to take my topamax up to the max level but only for a short time.
