16 Days of Different Amounts of Pain

16 Days of Pain!  It has been a long time since I have had a migraine such as this.  Some days are a definite 10 for pain and I cannot function, except to get sick to my stomach.  When this stage gets a little bit better, the amount of pain goes down to about a 5 or 6 but does not go away.  It cannot be that I am taking too much extra medication because my Doctor at our local Pain Clinic, only allows Extra Strength Tylenol for breakthrough pain.  It is useless, so I don't even take it.  I don't understand  how someone who is the Director of a Pain Clinic, prescribes a very strong narcotic taken 4 times a day, everyday to try and keep the migraines away, but when a migraine comes thru full force, she will only allow Extra Strength Tylenol.  My 16 days has felt like a roller coaster, has made my sleep problem worse, and my anxiety, is off of the charts.  I still try and stay positive, but it is extremely hard.  A few of these migraine sites are my only support, so thank you for always being here.  At least I know that I can count on you! Not to single out anyone or forget anyone, but right now it is Megan Oltman that is giving me strength and encouragaing me that there are other resources out there.  Thanks Megan
