I'm frustrated and a little nervous!

[LeaAnn807]

Hey guys!  Hope you are all having a good day.  It has stormed here for so long that I am expecting animals to start going by the house, 2 by 2!  So I am hoping to have some better weather.

Now...I am kind of frustrated by these headaches that I am having and am seeing my doctor for a post op visit tomorrow.  It has been 6 weeks since my hysterectomy. I don't know much about meds to treat headaches, as I have never really had too many of them.  Ibuprofen, BC Powder, Tylenol, Sudafed, Excederin.....not working.  That is the strongest thing I have taken.  If you guys have any ideas, I can ask my doctor about them.  I know he will let me take something, but I have no clue what to ask for.  In the past, I would have just taken the strongest thing he would give me!!! : )  I would usually just listen to whatever HE wanted me to do and not taken any responsibility on myself.  I would just really like to go in there a little more informed!  

I'm also a little nervous about it, so keep me in your thoughts tomorrow.  I have to be able to say NO if he offers "a short term opiate solution" until my hormones kick back in!  I'm thinking maybe that is why I am having the headaches.  We will see.

well I suffer from Migraines and what I found helped me was just a straight anti inflammatory like Naproxin I take 550mg twice daily and they do help me however everyone is different.  My migraines are from the air pressure going up and down and with this crap weather being all over the place that tends to make them worse...so it may not have anything to do with ur surgery...get ur back looked at as well some woman who have had the same surgery are complaining of the same thing and it turns out its caused by ur back being out for compensating for painin the front...good luck hun!

I'll let you swim in thunder....but not lightening!  

I'm cheery.  Just scared!  I'm still the same....just have a little wrinkle in my forehead now!  I hate going to the doctor anymore.  What's up with that?

You would let me swim in thundering weather???   Thank goodness I know better...

Noah,huh?   How's he looking?

Don't answer that.

Cheer up!

Whatever!  Yeah, go ahead and bring a swimsuit.  It is thundering right now, and I'm pretty sure I saw Noah with some sort of lumber outside while ago!

OMG Sara...that's young!!   Well,I'll check my books because now I'm wondering...
I had a hysterectomy in '95. Never had a headache...but then again,I was treating myself
for potential headaches (LOL) so one didn't have a chance!!!

TH~ I'm calling the airlines now...I'll go with you to the appt. I feel strong and don't like opiates. I'd be perfect. Should I bring a bathing suit? Oh...I'll just wear it!

Stop thinking so much!!   Try one of the triptans.  You can so no. If you don't,trust me,you'll feel like the worst crap.  Remember what you went through with me?? Don't
go there...it's ugly.    
You'll be fine~
