This week has brought about a new experience for me — and it actually brought it twice. This lovely new experience has kept me away from the computer a bit as well.
On Monday night while I was alone with the kids (Eric had taken one of his very rare business trips), and as Noah and I sat while he read a book aloud to me for homework, I suddenly had horrible sinus-type pain on only one side of my head/neck. I have to admit, I couldn’t help but run to the bathroom to be sure I didn’t droop on one side of my face. Seriously — it’s not like I thought I had a stroke, but I was concerned. (Apparently, I will add, it wasn’t a crazy thing to check, because when I saw my doctor today, he asked me several 
questions to verify that I hadn’t had a stroke. Crazy, huh?)

Once I finally got the kids to bed (they were so darn good, actually, because I begged them to be good because I felt so bad), I laid in pain until I was finally able to sleep. And, then I slept until noon the next day (thanks to Eric being home).
When I woke up, I was finally better! WooHoo! Well…I thought I was better.
Turns on that then on Wednesday afternoon while running errands, the headache came back. It was different this time, and then I became very sensitive to sound and light. I asked Eric to come home early and slept from 3 pm until 8:30 pm. This was, of course, because I sobbed to him and he ended up calling the doctor for me to see him the next day (today).
The doctor said that it certainly sounded like migraines, and actually offered me something injectable in the office. (I declined, since I only had a dull headache at the time.) I have now started on my FOURTH set of antibiotics since December!
At this point, I’m just praying that this migraine thing was a one (or two) time event. And, let’s hope that the fourth time is a charm on the antibiotics!
