It's MAY already????

My baby girl turned 20 on the 2nd! Happy Birthday PunkyNoodles! (On just a side note- The last time I had posted she had turned 20. She is 21 now!)

Let see what has been going on to tilt the tiara.

Migraines- Holy store bought guacamole Batman! I have never dealt with these gems on a regular basis in the past. An occasional 'you are getting on my nerves' brain-pain once in a while, that's about it. Something about laying in bed with a mask on, cursing those HUGE bedroom windows you fell in love with when you first looked at the apartment. Eating Exedrin like they are albino Skittles. Asking anyone and anything around you to please strap down pillows to their feet. (Note: Cats tend to fall off stuff in this state) Finally a trip to see my P.A. Which means a trip to the good old BingBong Tube (aka MRI machine). Now let me get this straight. My head hurts. My head hurts SO bad that I am vomiting someone else's dinner. Yet the way to see WHY it hurts is to stick my head in a Hannibal Lechter face cage that makes LOUD noise for 45 minutes??? After 15 minutes, you realize "I can dance to this" and you start dreaming of trips to Fiji for some tribal drum music. So out of nowhere, the Darth Technician comes through on the microphone right behind you (messing up your groove) and says - "Have you ever had a head injury?" I nearly pissed myself. I mentioned the head lump I had removed about 6 yrs ago (Sebaceous cyst). He makes scary hmmm-ing sounds. End result? I have migraines (WELL DUH????) Why? Unknown..... sigh..... So my doc decides I am going to start a regimen of Topamax ( http://www.topamax.com/topamax/index.html ) Yay! OK, so I yay'd til my doc and she said - It causes some people to 'get dumb'. Uhmmmmm Meaning? Meaning they sorta kinda lose track of what they are talking about, forget things, stuff like that. To me, that's normal crap that comes with age- no biggy. Then I spoke to someone else, and she had nicknamed the drug Dope-a-Max- for the very same reason. Oh Joy! But so far, it has been a week and I have yet to have another migraine experience. Wish me luck!!!

And how have YOU been?
