Day Number Three

Day Three...
Once again I had to take an Advil migraine this morning before leaving for work...  That makes for 7 days in a row that I have taken those little blue gel caps.  I am slightly worried because when I first saw my neurologist he told me that I had developed an Advil dependency that was actually adding to my pain.  After 365 with 0 pills, they work again, but I have been back on them since September 09, I wonder if this is what is causing my migraines to increase in frequency and severity?

Tonight I am going to start my increased dose of Amitriptyline and see how that goes.  Apparently prolonged use can cause weight gain - and I thought it was the gummi bears!


P.S. Working with espresso has been very helpful this week!  A quick double shot down the hatch and I have been able to dispel the creeping pain in my right temple!
