My head is like an old car. Huh? Oh, let me explain. It's been a glorious week of no headaches since I've been on the steroid prescription that was to knock out the flurry of headaches that gave me grief last week. The week has been filled with first-week of summer vacation stresses, but nothing off-the-charts. And no headaches! Thursday I had a message on my answering machine from the doctor's office checking up on me. It was also the last day of that prescription. Friday, wouldn't you know it, a felt a twinge of headache creeping up on me. Was it the food from the lunch I treated the kids to on Thursday? I had a vegetarian omelet. Could that really be it? More likely it was that the kids and I walked Jamieson to work Friday morning and I didn't have enough water to re-hydrate myself. So, I popped some ibuprofen when we were out doing errands Friday morning and when I talked to the nurse from the doctor's office a bit later in the day and I felt perfectly fine. Of course an hour later I felt a headache creeping up on me again. Grrr. See? Just like when the car runs great when you talk to the mechanic and makes that weird clunking noise again an hour later. Anyway, all is well. I took the newer prescription around dinner time. It did kick in as advertised and I woke up headache-free this morning.
I feel like an old woman with all these different prescriptions, but at least something works, right? It's a beautiful day and I am thankful I am feeling well and able to enjoy it.
