Sometimes I think doctors simply do not move fast enough for me and my inevitable fustration.  I suppose I ought to be satisfied with anything than enables me to actually function at work, whatever the side effects, given that whole need to have money to live thing... such a drag.  So, I am still on the Lyrica, as my neuro is not sure the effects I have been having are from it, or if they are, if they will be a regular problem.  This worries me in the sense that the muscle pain/weakness thing was fricken painful and made it difficult to simply move.  I really do not want that to be a regular thing, or a semi-regular thing.  But he is right we gotta give this one a chance and it is not like I have had much luck with other ones.

More important is what to have to treat the actual and frequent migraines.  He had me on Amerge for the hormonal migraines... which I took quite a bit more because I had nothing to treat the non-hormonal migraines... and as a result pretty sure I am in rebound land right now.  Anyway the Amerge did cause chest pains and shortness of breath.  Thankfully the more worrisome painful chest pains were not too frequent, but the breathing and wheezing most definately was... felt like my asthma was goin crazy.  But I did not stop taking it because I just returned to work and cannot work with a actute migraine, but can with shortness of breath.  My neuro has never heard of a triptan affecting asthma, and neither have I... I googled it.  He does not want me on it because he believes asthma is more serious than migraines, and maybe he is right, certainly I have been super tired with pressure headaches and problems breathing in my sleep... it is just not something that worries me much cause I know nothing about it.  Of course, the other possibility is that I am allergic to it.  Either way, off the Amerge.  Which immediately made me point out that I cannot, cannot fuction without a triptan, unless he wants to put me on pain killers that work.  Thus he put me on Axert, which I have actually never been on.  He said it was developed to be easier on the heart and so forth, he is not sure this is true, but it is faster acting than Amerge and possibly might be easier on my system.  I am hoping so.
