I’m on my third day in a row of a very low pain
level. And to be honest, I’m not really
in pain, I just still mark it on my scale of 1-10 because I’ve still had some sensitivities
and issues. However, in the big scheme
of things I have felt great for the last 3 days. I haven’t had to take any meds, lay down or
use ice. Last night, I even caught
myself saying, “It’s dark in here, we need to turn on some lights!” That’s a VERY rare statement for me as I am normally
the one turning off all the lights.
Today I was able to open some blinds and even sit outside. I still wore sunglasses while outside, but I
wasn’t squinting behind those sunglasses.
I can’t even begin to describe the elation I feel
for how well I’m feeling. Unless you’ve
been in pain for as long as I have been and tried the number of medicines,
treatments, supplements, etc. I’m just not sure one can truly understand. I didn’t sleep well at all last night and
woke up early unable to go back to sleep.
Normally by noon I would have been medicating or having to lie
down. It’s 8pm and I’m still going
strong. Of course I’m tired and have
that kind of hungover feeling when you just haven’t gotten enough sleep, but I’ll
take that ANY day over having chronic migraines!
I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch,
but today it’s been two weeks exactly since I had my first Botox
treatment. I’m hoping this reprieve from
pain is not short lived and I can begin to enjoy my life fully again. I have so many things I want to do…but that’s
another blog post. For now – Let there
be light!!!
