to be in misery every day of your life with migraines. I got the epi pen so that rudy can administer home injections as emmitrex (spelling) is the only thing that seems to work but makes me throw up, so home injections it is. Fine. I can handle a shot. I have had many a practice with that.
So after a 2 day migraine, we decided it was time for the shot. I cannot even explain how it went in a way that would describe a clear picture...but let me try...I had decided enough was enough- I would let him give me the shot, we'd put V to bed and watch our weekly show and then by that point- surely the medication would have kicked in.....right?
So... He read the page and half instructions on how to administer it. We fought for a bit about what was the "fatty" part of my arm. Apparently, rudy see's no difference in what I consider "muscle" and what he considers "fat". So, he jams it in, i scream. He has to hold it down tight for 5-10 seconds to get all the medication in (per the instructions). He withdrawls the needles, puts it away and before he is done- My arm and leg HURT, like BAD....I mean this is like 7 seconds later. I am drooling, cant hold my head up and felt like my brain was boiling. Within 15 seconds of getting the shot he tells Vaughn "girl, I think your mama is peacin' out." and vaughns says "peace out mama." Rudy had to practically carry me to the bed and I couldnt speak, move...nothing. It was the WEIRDEST feeling but the greatest feeling because I knew it was doing something...and hoping it was working. I was OUT.....within probably a minute from having the meds. I can just imagined how I looked....and it makes me laugh now....but then i was just a slobbering idiot.
We decided I can NOT have this administered on the airplane or people will think Rudy is kidnapping me!!!
Disclaimer:: Apparently all of these are side effects of the shot as its very strong. Luckily, I didnt get the side effect of soiling yourself as I have read some others have had????
I woke up with no headache...then on my way home- we stopped and got our passports signed up and on the way home from that BAM BAM BAM...it started coming on again. Its getting worse as the night goes on but not full blown yet. Plan to go to bed in a bit and see if that helps. I cant take the shot every day so ive got to be careful. I am also now taking a daily pill to help reduce the numbers of migraines I get.... hopeuflly in the week or so that should start working and I should be feeling better.
Fingers crossed.
