I felt migraine symptoms coming on and it was getting near my Ibuprofen meds time. I made the decision I’d have a bad night and just have to take Excedrin instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seemed to help … at least symptoms were less and not getting worse for over an hour and a half at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right at 7pm I was hit with PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN STABBING THROBBING PUSHING YANKING STAB STAB OOOOOOWWWWWWEEEE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had taken Eletriptan last time a couple of weeks ago, and said NEVER again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hate how it leaves me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now I’m taking it because the pain is unrelenting thus far. And it is getting close to 30 minutes after taking it with not much lessening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will go to bed in massive sore to painful shoulders arms body. Anymore I have more pain in my body, not less like the nighttime Amitriptyline was supposed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hurt all day and all night without Ibuprofen to ease the edges. So tonight will be a horrid misery. The stiff groggy mornings I am so sick of, it’s gotten so bad these last weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And here I am on day 47 of that stuff and all I can think of is please Dr. let me wean off of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I need an ADHD diagnosis so I can get that cared for with meds and see where the pain is then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How about that doc?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I mean I hate how hard it is to get ADHD and Autism diagnosis in a timely manner and cost effective as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
