Am researching floatation therapy -what I want is to be in a cave but maybe cocooned in a tub in urban sarf london can do for now.

Gimme a break
Two weeks on from the injections and the Botox is not botoxing yet...could be another three weeks before it settles ๐ซ
Dizziness, more the internal swaying, is on peak -maybe I realise it more because I'm keeping things so quiet around me. I really am so tired.
#vestibularmigraine
Botox round 3 today -half of the 37 jabs were excruciating...trigeminal nerve has been on fire for a couple of weeks.
Recovery includes a new spot doing garlic fried rice...when just the other day we were reminiscing about the Cha Han we used to get at Fujiyamas rip.
#vestibularmigraine
Must remember when I get up and moving and I'm able to function it's in large part thanks to the extended rest that's dialled down the external stimuli...caught myself mourning the things I haven't been able to do.
#vestibularmigraine
40mins into my apple store excursion yesterday liquid pain ran through the right side of my brain -I'm usually a left-side migraineur and rarely have aura but the lighting+temperature+dehydration set it off.
I'm handing Friday back..keep it, I'm flattened by Thursday.
#vestibularmigraine
I had a decent 4-week run of manageable migraine, Thursday 04:00 pain yanked me outta sleep so rudely...the flare has me pinned down.
Next round of injections end of next week and riding out of the pain until then feels impossible -meds, caffeine, darkness..nothing is helping

Hunger pangs wrapped up in nausea is nasty work

A year of migraine tracking on Migraine Buddy -she is relentless!
My attacks mostly collapse into each other and I don't remember the good days.
I do think the Botox is helping as I'm beginning to distinguish prodrome and postdrome from full blown attack.

First day in 6 daysI haven't had a migraine flare - and I was actually able to emerge from my dark, vampirey lair.

31 injections and the only ones that stung were top of my head.
No side effects from the Botox itself but sending it to site of nerve endings has dialled up all of my vestibular symptoms -was told this could happen so not concerned, but it's day5 and I'm tired of it.
