Triupmh

Omg, May, May, go away!
Come again some other year...

But really, there have been some serious triumphs today.  And by today I mean yesterday. (pre-2AM)

1.  I killed a cold sore in a few hours with essential oils. HOURS.  I could write a whole blog just about that.  Message me.  It involves doTerra Melaleuca oil.

2.  Sasha said it was a good day.  This despite going on a week of migraine, and a double earache.  Yes I AM hitting the essential oils a lot harder.  Please see #1.

3.  I ate a whole burrito bowl of Chipotle for dinner.  Granted there were no beans, they forgot the quac, and Mom agreed that they skimped us all on the portions, but this is HUGE for me lately, and possibly ever.  See #4.

4.  If you read Irrelevant Tea, you may or may not have understood that Topamax can make you lose weight. [raises hand]  Beloved Neurologist wasn't going to let me lower my dosage at my last meeting.  I mean appointment.  It's so funny, when you re-word a proposal and threaten to do something stupid, with no fanfare, how much more keen a simple thing like 100mg a day becomes.  But, we did have a shitload of stuff to cover, (we always have so much to talk about) the kids were there, I was getting injected with Botulinum type A, and we're still catching up from my year-long sabbatical.  Lol, "sabbatical".  So I didn't make a very good case at the time.  Either way, problem solved!  And as I had already started, it feels like I am already getting my brain and my stomach back, just a little.  I mean, I'm still nauseated MOST of the time, just not ALL of the time.  Actually, maybe I can downgrade it to just Much of the time...2 more days and I'm dropping another 100mg.  Eff.  That.  Mess.  Because, if it were preventing any migraine whatsoever, that would be one thing...

Play that triumphant music!!!  And the "huzzah" grows weaker as my head slowly tilts to the side.  I forgot a triumph, perhaps because it has a mirror twin called "nevermind".  I took no rescue meds today, but as it is now 2:22AM, I strongly suspect I will take some tomorrow.  This would put May at 19 migraine days, tying December for 2nd place as Most Migraines Ever since I started keeping track about 4 years ago.  Oooooh, but what if I don't...and...what if Sasha feels better tomorrow?  What if for a day, life wasn't a horrendous battle?  *giggle*  I kid. (;  We'll take it either way.  But it's fun to make up stories once in a while.

Anyway more good news.  I'm hungry.
