Yesterday, I ended up with fatigue. It is still bad today so obviously my auto immune disease is acting up. It’s my birthday and I am supposed to go out tonight. I don’t see it happening.lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Steps: 3,245

Still waiting on migraine med change. The transition period is NOT fun.
When I get my pain injections, I also get some for the migraines. I was considering Botox to help with the headaches but even with my insurance covering some it would be expensive. I hope you feel better today.
It's a battle isn't it, trying to find the right cocktail. The transition from one med to another is anxiety ridden. I did botox a few years back and passed out in the office. Almost thankful it didn't work for me. And navigating insurance approvals more often then not causes a migraine lol.1 -

I too suffer from Migraines ....so not fun ... I take a prescription called Sumatriptan ...It works wonders
When a migraine hits I am a rizatriptan girl. The meds we are playing with are preventative. After years of aimovig the effects have dwindled. Looking at vyepti infusions now. I am also on trokendi xr so here's hoping this helps.0 -
@lindamtuck2018 hoping you had a great birthday!0

Had to go into the office 3x this week (very unusual) so dinners and happy hours out with my teams took its toll. Susan I are leaving for Florida in a few hours and on to Dothan, AL to celebrate her Aunt & Uncle's 50th anniversary so I'll need a little more will power this weekend than I showed this week to get back on track.3 -

What went well this week: going to the gym on my lunch break, improving sleep hours, and walking more. Celebrating my achievements all this week and looking forward to my next loss!
Awesome loss! Thank you for the wishes.Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Steps: 3,245

I wonder if I went with the Botox would it have got rid of some of my wrinkles. 😂

New decade. I was hoping for the 70’s before my trip to Newfoundland. We go in a little over 2 weeks. In 16 pounds I will have lost 100 pounds.2 -

I am still alive, but I have fallen down a rabbit hole. I am not stepping on the scale this week; I will face the music on Wednesday. I have a wedding and Father's Day this weekend, but I will be back on Monday to try again.4
