It is advisable not to..

...have testing done while you have a headache. I went earlier today to my doctor office to have some test done. I am pretty sure I failed. I also said I quit when it came to the break the artery test. Really who makes up these names?

Best thing I can do is keep humor in front of me. Break the Artery?

I will not cuss....

I don't cuss. But gosh again I have a headache. I am trying to function in life and it just creeps up on me. Not cussing....

It's the annoying-I can function -getting dishes, laundry, talking to friends-kind. Not cussing....

I have been drinking coffee, water, maybe I should eat something. But I am not hungry.
Not cussing....

I need a spa date. A head massage. On a cruise ship. Not till September I can wait. Not cussing.

Hmmm feel better just not cussing!

Made it through the weekend

Well I did it! I made it through the weekend. I know your thinking big deal so did I! What you may not know is when I get out in the hot sun for long periods I typically end up with headaches.
Depending on what I did may depend how bad the headache.
Saturday I was in the sun for 6 hours at the ball park. By evening I felt like I was teetering on which way I was to go. Today, just a few hours. No headache!!

Whew-a headache free weekend! They are the BEST!

The all of a Sudden Headache

Having an ok morning, I guess-then just like that head starts. Stress I don't know. I have a few things in the firer with no energy.
It's very frustrating -beyond frustrating.
I'm waiting test results from my oldest-wrapping up school-my computer is not working so it's hard to blog and get end if the year reports down.
Nothing beyond normal for me, except those test results for my oldest. I need to know he is ok-

Going to go take some medicine now:)

Having a few Duh Momements

One of the ways my Dr. described the medicine to me was it caused people to be stupid. Yep that freaked me out. I read and read about the drug. At first I thought headaches or forgetting things. Which one? After having a few more headaches I thought I would take my chances.

Well folks-my stupid moments have arrived. Yep.
Yesterday I needed a cup to get a drink and I stood at the door of the pantry. Which then I really could not remember why I was there. And while cleaning I would lost track of what I was cleaning start cleaning something else.
Oh and I went to the store for milk and came home with a $100 of groceries.
Somethings I just stare out the window and I don't know why I am staring. I have misread emails-poor people on the other end!
And sometimes I want to say sometime and I cannot find the right word.

What's funny is this is kinda my life before. Having headaches messes with your brain. I felt like I was scattered brain all the timed.


Now what was I typing?

Just kidding!

Just another day of functioning with headaches!

Am I loosing weight?

Everything I read about Topamax
is one of the biggest side effects is loosing weight. Loss of appetite.
I have experienced some. I have always had a bad habit of skipping breakfast. But some days now it's not till dinner that I realized that I haven't eaten anything. I drink tea all day long-or coffee. I also notice that most times now I feel full before I am finished eating.
Over all I have dropped about 6 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. Personally that's a side effect I can live with! But I don't want it to go to my head. Real weight loss comes from hard work, eating right and a right frame of mind. The boost is nice though!
