After taking a week vacation to the complete other end of my state to visit my family, I have been worn out. I used all of my spoons, and I was beginning to feel like I was using next year's spoons... I ended up in the er 4 days after I got back because of crippling chronic migraines. They loaded me full of medications. Everything from a ton of steroids, to antiinflammatories, to anti nausea.... The steroids have had a horrible side effect causing me to lactate. (Been going on for 4 days now with no sign of slowing down or stopping.) They made me feel like a billion bucks.
The day after my ER, I had an appointment with my rheumatologist and my neurologist. The rheumatologist upped my gabapentin and prescribed a sleep aid... Which has been amazing. I finally slept a full night, and I had energy the next day. Only downfall is the really weird vivid dreams that give me anxiety attacks. But, a cigarette makes that all better. The neurologist prescribed me medication to release pressure in my brain to help prevent the migraine. And it also promotes weight loss. Which would be nice considering I've gained all the weight back I worked so hard to loose thanks to the chronic illnesses.
I'm Amber. 26 yrs old. I have two girls (4 and 7) who are a handful, but keep me on my feet. I haven't worked in over a year due to severe back pain, which as still gone "unknown" according to my doctors. I was diagnosed with MS on 06/29/15. I also have been diagnosed with mild scoliosis, beginning of disc degeneration, a "rare" L6 vertebrae, hypothyroidism, diabetes inspidius, IgG4, fibromyalgia, & hypermobility.
