I am currently on a two week trial of oral Thorazine.
If you'll remember, I did Thorazine in the hospital at UVa with very little success and it was nothing short of a nightmare being in there. I'm hoping for at least some results so that I can stop being in bed all day long.
Fingers crossed, prayers, good ju ju, whatever it is that you believe in...keep on believing. Please please please...

Massage
Gioia and Christopher teamed up and signed me up for a massage while we were at Great Wolf.
Ill admit that I was timid about this. Terrified even. I don't like being touched anywhere that might set off a headache, and I was already hurting.
It was awesome though. The girl (woman...she was older than my mom...she had a daughter older than me) that did it had suffered from migraines and was very gentle. She didn't do anything without asking if it felt ok and if the pressure was ok, etc.
She even gave me the name of a place to go here in Manassas to try and get some more relief like she did.
Win-win.

New Year, New Hope
Happy 2014!
Chris and I were fortunate to spend NYE with his parents, as they drove down from Massachusetts on the 30th just before the big snow storm that plowed into the northeast.
I felt ok the few days before they got here but I think the added stress of having them see our home for the first time and wanting it to look just right (clean, Christmassy, etc...) plus knowing that we probably wouldn't be getting much sleep that night because we were going to have a tiny toddler house guest (our favorite..Jackaroo) threw me into another episode.
I held my own pretty well though. Nothing a few naps and some po Benadryl and phenergan couldn't handle.
On 1/2 we headed to Great Wolf Lodge with the larger of the Komar boys and their parents for some fun. My head was killer there the entire time, but I just ignored it and played with my boys.
I knew I would hate myself if I didn't.
You can't make up for lost time at a place like that!!
