I want to go back to work! Sick leave SUCKS!
Sep 2nd, 2009 at 10:14am
 
Hey guys,
I've been on sick leave for almost a month now because of these stupid HA's. Normally I can work thru an entire cycle if I have my proper abortives, but this season I got slammed really hard where there were just too many headaches per day to be trying to work.

And I work in a blast furnace, so as you can imagine, my environment is already SUPER-DANGEROUS, super loud and EXTREMELY HOTT. And i'm not trying to be up in there while having clusters. Angry

I'm ready to go back to work! But my HA's aren't gone yet.......im tired of sitting around the house aborting headaches, plus I have comcast and theres nothing on worth looking at. HELP Sad

I hope your cycle ends soon, Lawrence.  I could not even imagine working around a blast furnace and getting hit.  (I'm a steel town girl)

My preventive is Verapamil. 480mg a day during cycle.....then tapering down in the off season.
I recently finished a prednisone taper.....took my last pill of topomax (which doesn't really help me) Tongue
Aborts.....I have O2 here at home, with an Optimask I purchased from the store link here...
I have Imitrex injections.....and also the generic sumatriptan succinate. I take Melatonin at bedtime....6-9mg.

I am normally able to work as long as I have injections with me at work. But as of this past month, the HA's were too many....4 and 5 a day......

now lately i think im approaching the end of my cycle.....i have shadows ALLLLLL day almost.......some really strong shadows too that almost feel like hits.......
