To Shift or Not to Shift

Health, ME/CFS, Thoughts, , 18 Comments

During our last visit, the doctor prescribed a new medication to manage migraines. We discussed not starting it until I was cleared of other issues that I was facing at the time. Turned out, I was able to start the medication on Christmas day. Fast forward a few days and I notice no signs of a headache. In fact, I can’t remember the last time my head felt so free of tension. A shift? Here’s hoping so.

I’m not keen on medication. My body generally rejects or reacts to any chemicals. Does that mean I should balk at all medications? I am beginning to realize a new possibility. Apart from being headache free, my heart rate has slowed, bringing it into a normal range. I am hopeful for the future.

I can be stubborn about trying new things. Thank goodness I ignored that impulse and took the pill. Now to keep going….

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.
