As you may know Michael has had some difficulties in his classes with getting work done and being motivated to make it through the day. This year is his first year with a male teacher, Mr. B. We reviewed his grades last night and he was so proud. As were we.
We made the decision for me to stay home and focus on my health. I pretty much sit in a stuper daze with the effects of the medications. I saw a new neurologist for a second opinion. Dr. Pamela Vincent in Provo. She has a great new plan for me. I am stopping the medication I have been taking since my hemiplegic migraine and I am on a new regime of medications for four weeks. I am starting to feel a difference in the way I feel. Still have no energy and bloated. One of the side effects of the old medicine was weight gain - - lovely.
I enrolled Brendan in Itty Bitty Football that starts next week. He is really excited and carries around a football.
Afton is doing well in school but a bit frustrated that Michael's grades are better than hers.
Wayne is taking on a little more to make up for my loss of income. Another shift or two and tracking another boy who will be released from the boy's home. Which means that the boy will be living on his own and will have to call Wayne to check in several times a day.

HI, I came across your blog thru google alerts on hemipalegic migraines. I was wondering if you would mind telling me what meds you are on now vs before the change. I have been suffering from these migraines for 2 years now, and have yet found anything really to help. I also noted that you stated Provo in your blog, I am originally from South Jordan. I live in Colorado now. Any help would be so appreciated.
Thanks,

My Neurologist had me on 1000mg of Depakote (DEPAKOTE ER 500MG TABLETS - two tablets at bedtime) and was wanting to increase my dosage to 1500 mg with one taken in the morning and two taken in the afternoon. There was no way I could handle taking that dosage in the morning. I was also taking ISOMETH/APAP/DICHLOR CAPSULES as a rescue medication when I get a breakthrough migraine. I had to take two at onset and one every hour up to five in 12 hours until headache was gone. I had to take no less than 4 before it worked.
I now take PROPRANOLOL 60MG TABLETS 3 times daily and METOCLOPRAMIDE 10MG TABLETS for breakthrough migraines.
I was actually advised on some vitamins to take later on after I get the migraines under control.
What have you been on?
the bloating you are experiencing is almost certainly from the depakote. It can cause weight gain also.
Have you tried topamax? I found it far superior to the depakote with my migraines but mine are not hemipalegic in nature.
