One pill makes you smaller.....

[abandonreality]

Ok, so don't talk about it as much as the migraines on here but as you can tell by my journal title, I have insomnia.  In fact, sometimes the insomnia leads TO the migraines, (yay for continuity...).  It had been getting a little better lately until the my regular doctor (its kinda sad I have to differentiate isn't it?) changed my blood pressure meds, AGAIN....=_=.......back to sleeping every 3 to 4 days.  Called my neurologist, who handles the migraines AND the insomnia, he gave me a new sleep med.
I now have a bottle full of useless blue pills.  That new Lunesta stuff isn't worth it......especially what I had to pay for it.  It made me pleasantly drowsy and I got all excited.  Then I woke up an hour and a half later wide awake.....*sigh*
Actually other than the perpetual tiredness and the hallucinations after about 3 days, I feel fine...(crazy laughter).

So far, 3 sleep drugs down who knows how many to go.  *goes to bang head against wall*

Two fics? ::blinks innocently:: Which ones?

Don't bang your head against the wall! D: It won't make it better because I've tried it! I have no idea the horror of insomnia. I love sleeping way to much to not be able to do it... =_= I think my only obesssions proglems are my perversion and anime... which go hand in hand! ::merrily skip off together::

OH G-D, I sympathize. Either I'm sleeping too much or too litte. Too little leads to migraines and anxiety. Too much correlates with depression. All blood pressure meds wipe me out.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND THE TIME TO ENJOY CARTOON PORN IF I AM SO STRUNG OUT?
Woo, yeah, hallucinations. I'm used to them but try to tell anyone about migraine hallucinations and they're WTF, HOW DO YOU LIVE LIKE THAT.

Anyway, hugs and sympathy..... I will try to write some porn for you this week!

Was doing soooo much better until check up at my reg. MD and my BP was elevated, so time for med swap again...=_=. My body never, ever reacts well to any kind of change. We have migraine or insomnia (door number 1 or 2!).

And Yay, pr0n!! It always helps!! So does the sympathy...(Lord knows, the hubby is too use to it to give any XDXD!)

Hear you on both counts - I don't know about childbirth, but migraines are worse than broken bones, imo. :( I'm lucky, though - the NB gets them as well, so he knows enough to leave me alone then.

Interestingly, though, I found this the other day: http://www.webmd.com/content/article/123/115181 which - in theory, it sounds like it'd work, but on the other hand, the NB would be in terrible danger of my throwing up on him. :P

As much as this will sound wierd.....I have experienced both, 31 hours of childbirth in which the epidural didn't take (ha, ha karma..), and migraines lasting over 96 hours requiring hospitalization.....I would rather give birth.
Because at least you only have to give birth once and you get and prize at the end of the deal...^_^

Looked at the site you sent. Sounds like it would work for people who have a certain type of migraine, but unfortunately for me (and Greg ^^) it doesn't sound like mine. I would probably hurl at an inopportune moment anyway. *snorfle*
