On wednesday night I ended in the ER with a terrible migraine, it started on Tuesday night. The pain was so bad on Wednesday night that I passed out. Hubby carted me off to the ER. Everyone there was fantastic, they gave me IV fluids, pain meds, and magnesium sulfate. The only mistake I think they made was not admitting me because while the pain meds took my pain from a 9 to a 4 I knew the migraine was still there, alive and well, just waiting. The ER docs thought my pain could be mananged at home with a script of Percocet. But I knew better. So, by Thursday I was calling my Nerologist and he set up home health to come in for Iv infustion. I only needed this one other time, that time he ordered Decadron, benadryl, and Zofran. Since I had some side effects from the Decadron he ordered Benadryl, Toradol, and Zofran this time. It seems to have worked, I feel much better today, I still have a slight lingering headache but I feel a lot better. What a way to spend the week, hopefully this week will be much less eventful.
