I really thought I had anxiety but I was taking something for anxiety to try and help with migraines.....nothing changed. I still felt "anxious" and still had the migraines. Thanks for this post......I was puzzled myself. Amber

I agree with both! You have every right to feel the way you do. You might see others as being "worse" then you, but in the long run it doesn't matter because you feel the way you do regardless of how everyone else feels. It's happening to YOU and it still hurts. Don't underestimate your own feelings. You know, there will always be at least one person worse off in your eyes. But that person may look at you and think what they are going through is easy compared to what your dealing with. Vent all you want.......I will listen. I'm very sorry your losing your hair. That would be very hard to deal with. Have you thought about a wig? I know it's not the same as your own, but it might make you feel more confident in public? Take care, Amber

Oh you poor girl! I'm so sorry, I wish there was something I could do for you. (((HUGS))) You CAN and WILL make it through this. Hang in there. Amber

Happy B-day!!

Good for you! Tell them how it is. Amber

I'm still waiting for a dx, but I do feel a bit better now that I'm taking Toprol XL. I still get potsy episodes, but I have improved and have faith that I will improve even more. Take care and know your not alone. Amber

I feel the same way.

Happy happy birthday!!!

I'm sure that's got to be pretty frustrating! Hang in there, Amber

I noticed I got really dizzy just from the exam, plus because I was nervous I'm sure it didn't help things. I felt like I was going to vomit after all was over and I was ready to go home. I know I will need a ride home when I actually get work done. Thanks

Hey, Don't be hard on yourself for needing meds to feel more "normal". Your not taking them because you want to, you need to. With that in mind I hope it's easier to know that you didn't GIVE up. You just realized your body needs a little extra help. I hope this meds continues to help and the "high" passes after awhile. Take care, Amber

Congrats Nina, I'm glad your having better luck!!! It's just amazing what gets tossed our way when we are down, I'm glad things are looking up for you! Here's to more positive days!! Amber

Welcome!!!!!! Amber

Thanks again! One of the girls mentioned that they don't use Epi on anyone who has any changes in heart rate. So that makes me feel better. Amber

Just wanted to send you a welcome!!! Best of luck to you, Amber

Congrats on getting the much needed help!!! I'm sorry you hurt your foot. A sprain can sometimes hurt worse then if it was broken. Keep ice on it like your doing and I hope that will be all you need. (that and maybe a new foot) LOL Take care, Amber

I have had that happen to me too! It happens when I over do it during the day. Usually if I take a nap in the day it won't happen. Just wanted you to know that your not alone, in fact many others have had this too. Take care, Amber

Thanks, you guys were much more help then my doctors office! I didn't even say who I was when I called (not that I think it would make a difference) but I mentioned that I needed work done for my teeth and needed to know if there was anything I needed to be aware of or if there was anything the dentist needed to know. Well. The person I talked to said they don't get involved with dental. That the dentist would know what to do. I guess in some cases that would ok, but I feel that my doctor should know about it. Maybe I'm blowing it out of porportion but it makes me mad that she would advise me without reading my chart or talking with my doctor. I don't know what I would do without the support you all offer! Thanks, Amber

Hi all, I'm going to call my doctor, but I would feel better to hear from someone who has been there. I need work done, 7 fillings and one pulled. What do I need to watch for? I'm on Toprol. Thanks, Amber

I hear ya about insurance! So frustrating. Take care, Amber

I can't get by unless I take a nap when I get "episodes". Sometimes that's not enough, but I don't have a choice. It's like I took a sleeping pill and my body just shuts down. I understand what your feeling. Hope you have a better day! Amber

Hi there! I don't have anything to add but did want to welcome you. Best of luck to ya! Amber

Oh I know how awful you feel! I took excedrin migraine and it helped for a few years. Maybe you can try them? If you get them all the time though be carefull taking OTC meds. You don't want to end up with rebound headaches. You might want to call the doctors office and ask if you can go in if they have a cancelation? Some will call you and tell you, but sometimes they tell you to call everyday. Best of luck. Amber

YAY!!! Glad your home! Welcome back! Amber

I'm sorry your feeling alone Lindajoy!!! My thoughts are with you and I hope you get what you need out of the stay at mayo. I'm glad they were able to get you in early too! It's no fun waiting. Take care, Amber
