Again, it's been awhile since I've blogged. Life has been crazy here with school starting. Luke is enjoying first grade. Jonah loves preschool and Seth is potty trained and going to school twice a week. He wants to go every morning like his brothers so we might look into the 5-day program in a month or so.
I saw my neurologist last Thursday. They switched up my medicine a little more as they usually do. But the new topical cream they have me on has been working great. I put it on my trigger points in my shoulders and I think it is really helping with the headaches. It's called Voltaren Cream. It's an anti-inflammatory. Otherwise they refilled my Vicodin and gave me Compazine and Diamox otherwise. I took the Compazine and Vicodin together the other day and it made me very restless and tired. I don't think I'll do that again.
I've been trying to work out 4-5 times a week. It's been frustrating that I haven't lost much at all. My neurologist wants me to see a medical weight loss program to get the weight off sooner rather than later. The exertion of the exercise gives me migraines so until I can relax a little I'm going to keep having them. I know we can't afford anything insurance won't pay so I'm putting it off for the moment. Still exercising, still migraining. :)
The headaches have been better though. I'm down to one every other day at the moment so I can't complain. It's way better than everyday.
We have a new member of our family. We adopted the cutest black kitten almost 2 weeks ago. She came to our house for the night and never left. She loves to cuddle and I love to oblige. My allergies have abated since the first few days and Jonah has shown no reaction at all.
No word on Seth's x-rays as of yet. I took him in last week for x-rays of his head. He has a line from his ear up the side of his head where you can see that the bones haven't fused all the way. It seems to have sealed but he might be more susceptible to head injury in the future. I'll post something as soon as I find out.
