Hi ladies,
Its been some time since I've posted. I've been experiencing MAJOR daily migraines which start with a stiff neck, jaw and pain in my mouth. I have been doing very well with my bladder for several weeks, lo and behold, post period, I started getting brownish discharge a week after my period which also causes burning all day long. I'm 6 months into treatment and progressing better for the most part despite alot of work stress, never get a chance to even take a break, long hours, alot of family illness'. So, I'm wondering if anyone also has alot of migraines which begin with neck/jaw stiffness? Matia is aware but I've just been toughing it out. It seems like she is busier these days and I dont want to bother her. Any advice? I'm tempted to go see someone about the neck/jaw stiffness. I know it starts off with poor sleep.
Which brings me to my neck issue... lack of sleep. Not so much this week but boy I dont see how I last with no caffeine on about 5 hours of sleep and 10 hour work days, plus being a mom. How are you all dealling with this? Ive tried the tapes, covering my eyes so its pitch black. Its horrible and each night I hate to admit I panic to go to sleep.
Anyhow, aside from these two current issues, I have been very 'normal'. Periods are normal. Depression waxes and wanes. It happens on the weekends but hasnt in about 3 weeks. Would love your input.
Thank you!
Adriane
crazy symptoms
I'm sorry that all of this is getting to you - I too have had tremendous headaches and problems sleeping - it does get better. Then, for me, it pops up again in some weird way. While my neck is still stiff it now hurts under my left shoulder blade. Just when I think the discharge has ended, it comes back again -normally after a flare. So, I truly think more junk is coming out.
Hanging in there with you.
I have
pain in my left shoulder blade, too, Denise. It has been so painful at times that I can't sleep, which is difficult, because I can't sleep anyways! So I am with you there, Adriane. I also have pain opening and closing my hands. I spoke to Dr. B about it at my last appointment, which was last week. For me, the pain always hurts worse at night. But I am thankful that my bladder is doing well.
