FINALLY - I FEEL GOOD
May 15, 2008 10:24 am Life on a Chicken FarmWell, its been an interesting few weeks to say the least.
As most of my regular readers know, I deal with Migraine headaches. They had become very frequent at about 3x per week at their max. The headaches started to back
off about 5 weeks ago, and its now been 4 weeks since my last migraine.
Anytime a new symptom hits me and if it last for more than a few days, I will contact my doctor right away. So not really sure why I didn’t call her when the Migraines hit me, but I didn’t. Instead I just went to the Chiropractor once a week and bought Excedrin for Migraines and just stayed in the house on my bad days.
Well, as it goes, and as I said, the migraines did back off a great deal, but other problems showed up in their place. One of those problems was being short winded (Angina), low energy level and then last week Vertigo hit me.
That was the straw that broke the camels back and I was on the phone to my doctor right away.
The Vertigo is related to my allergy problems, I have dealt with it before. And she prescribed Antivert for it.
She seen me within the hour and we talked for awhile and she said she wanted me on something called a beta blocker, and that it would help with the headaches and help with the short winded problem that I was experiencing.
So its been 2 days for the beta blocker and I feel like a new person, I can actually breath again and I can notice that my energy is returning as well.

Their was a time I was on alot of medication mostly because I used meds for any ach and pain. I was always at the doctor and they were more than happy to keep me trying different meds. I found out later that my headaches were caused by the medications I was taking. I went off all the medication and changed my thinking and my lifestyle and when I get a headache now I either need more water or I went to long without food or I need to go to the bathroom.I had vertigo at christmas and I feel so much sympathy for you. after 5 days I finally went to the emergency room and they gave meclizine 10.00 over the counter at walmart. Also salt and vinegar chips will keep you from throwing up and tug on both ears at the same time hard and it will stop the spinning . my greatest sympathy John
