Changes In My Migraines

It seems, after having one of the worst migraines ever, my migraines have changed. First, I have to say it is nice to have a name for some of the migraines I have been experiencing. It's important to be able to distinguish the level of pain and explain it to my husband.

So, since about two weeks ago, when I had what seems to have been a hemiplegic migraine, I now have regular ice pick headaches. They occur every half hour or so, and are not just one but about 3-4 in a 2 minute period of time. At least one is sharp enough to confuse me. I was talking to my husband about them and completely stumbled over my words at one point. I looked at him and he just looked surprised. We've never had to deal with this before and it's a little disconcerting.

One good thing though, is my husband has become my advocate. I hate going to the doctor, mostly because we don't have insurance and the money spent concerns me if I can't fix the problem or it finds more that will cost more money to fix. Im sure Im not the only one who feels like this. He told me today that we will go into the city (4 hours away) on the fifth and get me seen my a doctor if possible. We have to be in the city for business reasons anyway, but he is wanting to take an extra day and have me seen. It's so nice to have someone care for you. Anyhow, just documenting and sharing what Im going through. Thanks for listening. I'll post if I am able to see a doc and get some help.
