No Love for Dr. Love.

I am not sure if many of you know this but the past few months I have been getting really bad headaches. They occur about twice a week and I usually have about two days a week headache free. Enter Dr. Love. I went to see said Dr. last Thursday and he confirmed what I had been thinking …..migraines. Ugh. But there is hope. Zomig. He gave me a prescription for Zomig and said these should help control these darn migraines until I see the neurologist. Well fast forward to Sunday. I feel this migraine coming on so after church before bed I pop a pill thinking I will wake up in the morning refreshed and migraine free. Sounds good right? Wrong. Took the pill and in about 30 minutes I felt like my head was on fire. One of the side effects is tingling and numb skin. I then feel very nauseous. One of the side effects is nausea. This begins a quickly developing downward spiral. I went through dizziness, drowsiness, tightness in my jaw and neck and the fun has just begun. I finally fall asleep only to wake a couple over hours later to hug the porcelain bowl. Ugh. I ended up sleeping outside the bathroom on the carpet until about 4am. I then was able to move to my bed and sleep for another hour and then try to get up to go to work. I say try because walking in even a somewhat straight line was impossible. Needless to say I ended up on the couch and did not go to work. Oh and I still have a migraine. Cool. Needless to say I am feelin’ no love for Dr. Love.
