Consult

I met with the dream consult today and it was a good meeting. She is wondering if the dreams are kind of a prodrome to the migraines or if the dream itself causes me to go into a “shock” of trauma. I ended up getting a migraine during the meeting. I have been fight it off but it hasn’t settled down. We decided to do some work before I go to sleep to put me into a safe space where only certain things are allowed in. I will see her probably next month to report back to her. I sent a message to my pcp to ask if there is a chance this could be menopausal as I haven’t had an estrogen test in a long time.

I had woken up with a migraine this morning. I had to go pee and man did my head hurt. I went back to sleep. I didn’t take any meds. I woke up a few hours later to pee again. I took my meds and slept. I didn’t want to get up but I had to for my appointment. I started the Topamax last night. I haven’t had much of an appetite today but I had to eat something. I ordered taco bell when I woke up from my nap. I still got a headache. I am hoping having some food will make the headache go away. I only had one cup of coffee today. I could be dehydrated as I have been sweating most of the day. It’s hot today.

I wanted to take a shower today but still haven’t found the energy to do it. I sweated a lot at the game last night. It was so hot and walking around in the heat made me so fricken tired. Sox won. I am so glad. We had good seats, right in center field. I got to take a pic of my favorite catcher. I love being at the park, even if I was tired. It was so fun. I made sure to use the bathroom before leaving, this time. My sister was shocked that I used the men’s room. I don’t know why. I couldn’t use the women’s room with a full beard on my face. Like seriously??

I don’t know if I am going to listen to the game tonight. I am pretty beat with this migraine. I did a lot of walking last night. My legs are still hurting me. I am glad I didn’t have to go out today. Tomorrow I meet with my DMH worker. I might meet up with my sister after the appointment to go home. Maybe I will pick up some hotdogs at the grocery store.
