I'm not handling today very well. For some reason, some days I feel like my emotions are just there, right below the surface. Any little thing, and they come flying out.
My husband called and told me he loves me and he'll wait for me. He wants me to feel better so much. He told me that things will get better sometime soon. Now I find that I can't stop crying.
I made plans with a friend to go to lunch today, but I met her and then left. My stomach and head are not a good combination today. Once again, plans broken by me. I wonder if others feel they can't rely on me. I never wanted to be an unreliable person.
These medicines are a lot for me to handle. I take 8 of them daily, and several affect mood or sleep. Sometimes I feel crabby and impatient. Sometimes I can't wake up (I mean like the entire day). We try different doses, we try different times of day. We try gradual changes, quick changes. I just feel very not-me. It's tough to explain. I wonder if anyone even understands what I am describing...
So my husband says things will be better sometime soon. I wonder if he really believes that, or if that is just his hope talking. Well, I know I hope...with every medication change, I hope...

Hi jenny!
Honey you are not alone! I promise you that. I wonder the same things all the time. I have 2 of the very best friends a girl could ask for and a hubby that is loving and honstly tries to understand what I'm going through. I feel I let them down all the time. There are days and sometimes weeks that it is all I can do to get up and maybe take a shower.
And the meds...oh brother...what a nightmare! One change after another after another. Mood swings, upset tummy,muscle stiffness and pain, confusion, dizzieness wanting to sleep all the time, NEEDING to sleep all the time!And the list goes on and on.
Just do your best to let them know how you are feeling. Let them read info about migraines and the things you go through.And stop feeling guilty about things. It is not your fault! We did not ask for this mess that's for sure!
Take care of yourself.
Prayers and hugs,
Anita
Hi Anita!
It sure is nice to hear that others understand my feelings...
I'm working hard to not feel guilty about being sick, but it's tough! I so want to be the perfect mom--the perfect wife...I guess I've got to learn that there's no such thing as perfect!
I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
