New here...
I've been looking for an online support group for Pleurisy and Endometriosis for a long time. I'm glad to have found DailyStrength! I have been wanting to keep track of symptoms, appointments and diagnosis' trough journaling and I think I'll feel comfortable doing so here. A place where I can keep track of the important things as well as allow myself to whine about all of the crap that goes along with poor health. I wear a strong face for friends and family so to any who may read this, please keep in mind that this is my spot. Where I can let myself be weak on the bad days so I can get out all of the negative thoughts, put em in one place and leave them there. The way I see it, this will be a good thing. Sadly, I didn't plan on having something to whine about so soon lol. I've had a migraine since late afternoon that has not gotten any better. One 50mg ultram (tramadol), two alcazelter (sp?) tablets, two 500mg arthritis tylenol and two 500mg vicodin later.. and the edge is finally wearing off a bit. A very small bit, but it's better than the raging pounding crippling migraine that it was before. My primary care doctor (PCM) gave me a sample pack of dissovlable pills for the migraines. They helped greatly. Taken at the first sign of pain and within 25 minutes I can already feel it going away! I was only given six and that was in May. Lucky for me, I have an ER follow up appointment tomorrow at 1340 and I plan to ask her for another sample pack along with a prescription if possible. Also have a chest ct scan with the new pulminary doc. Can't wait to get the ball rollin and figure out what's going on with the slew of new symptoms!
