Thanks, guys. I chugged leftover Gatorade and Red Bull from last night (doctor's suggestion), cranked up the fan and AC and went back to sleep. Migraine is much further in the background.

ER people told me to come back anytime, but it was a very prolonged stay for a strange sort of relief. Half my headache went away, but I became very cold and agitated. Turns out what they gave me was supposed to be an anti-anxiety drug amongst other things.

Not going back.

If it comes back badly today, I might hit the acupuncturist (thanks for the offer, Kristin! You're on my list now) instead. At least he doesn't take so long, and manages to break it a bit.

Oh, and I guess I should call my doctor and tell her what happened. Blah.

What did they give you? I doubt they gave you super-ibuprofen, but when I went in suspecting meningitis that injection made me super-anxious and chair-dancy. I've hardly been less comfortable in my life.

I'm glad the migraine's a bit better. And I hope they can figure out a way to stake it once and for all.

They gave me compazine. Which I'd never heard of outside of instructions barked on the show ER. The headache in the back of my head left, but I became sleepy, fidgety and really cold, all at once.

Now I have to go make breakfast. I'm irrationally scared of moving, although the part of me with sense tells me it'll be reasonably okay.

I just don't want it to hurt anymore.

That sounds ... suboptimal.

Did I post here about how excited I was to get a CBC a few months ago? CBC! Chem 7! STAT!

And the blood gases? Dr. Carter always got the blood gases. ETA: I thought compazine was an anti-emetic. Dag, the stuff you learn when your dad's a hypochondriac...House would totally chase him out of the clinic.

Oh, I was given compazine in Canada for a migraine once. (It's an anti-nausea drug, mostly -- I had it here in the States before my appendectomy.)

Hee.

It turned out that CBC wasn't even that exciting -- it's just Complete Blood Count, so they knew how much of each blood component I have.

Of course, I'd just as soon NOT have anything medically exciting happen to me anyway...

All I ever got was an crappy icepack. They didn't even give me a kleenex to wipe the other person's blood off me!

ita , I had really hoped things were improveing. sorry things are so far from good.
