Laughter Through Tears

The specialist appointment went... fairly well. She took my history and did some weird neuro-ish physical exam stuff (reflexes + other things that I'm not familiar with). She also replaced my triptan with another one from the same family which should hopefully kick in more quickly. She seems wary of the side effects of preventative treatments and was weighing them against how disabling my migraines are, in terms of work days lost. Since I typically lose half a day per episode, and I've been getting 2-3 episodes a month... I guess that falls on the side of "not quite disabling enough".

Weird how often that happens to me. Makes me feel like I'm the buck being passed, so to speak.

The general weakness and malaise that I feel after a migraine episode might be down to side effects from the triptan, which means that there's a healthy chance that it will be less severe with the new med. Fingers crossed.
