Finally gave in and went to the ER tonight. The migraine hit a 9.5/10. Wasn't able to find a ride, so ended up calling the EMTs. Hated doing it since it really wasn't life or death, and my insurance probably won't pay for it, but I couldn't take it anymore.
I spent 2 hours in the ER. The first set of shots they gave me did nothing (Toradol and Phenergan) an hour later, they gave me Dilaudid. That's helping some. Pain is down to a 7, and I'm going to try to sleep the rest of it off.
I hope everyone is doing well. I've been pretty much out of touch with everyone as I stress out about the move. Oh, talking about stress, my bp was 203/88! That's almost 100 pts higher than normal. Kristie mentioned that pain can mess with blood pressure, but I surely didn't realize to what extent.
Kat arrives a week from Monday, and we'll see if we can get things organized and clean.
Felt badly enough today that I didn't do laundry, so I'm going to have to sneak in and do it tomorrow even though the laundry room is officially closed.
Well, I'm off to bed, hoping tomorrow will be a better day.
