quick update

just a quick update to let you all know how i'm going.

my current migraine medication is sandomigran, my tourettes med is serenace. they're working pretty well, although the sandomigran is aggrivating the TS a little as well as making my eyes a little blurry. but i certainly have a livable balance as i've only had one "near" migraine (aborted with some aspirin) in the last couple of months. quite an exciting development, really!

Something to try

As with everything, i'm not guaranteeing this. but it did help me with my (continuing) epic migraine, so i'll post it here in case it's a help for others: massage! lowers stress and loosening things up seems to help for a while. i doubt it would abort a migraine, but anything that eases pain (and possibly prevents a migraine? who knows?) has got to be a good thing. here in aus, most extras cover will pay some towards massage (as well as other alternative treatments) and without hospital cover, are not too expensive. so may be worth thinking about.

anyway, other things related to me:
i got my ct scan results and they're clean. that's a relief. my doctor has okayed me upping my tourettes meds as my tics are starting to get to me again, i've only done this as of friday, but it seems to be helping already. the tics are still larger body areas, but significantly less pronounced. which is decrease in stress. i've also gotten a referral to a neurologist who visits locally, and will be looking into getting an appointment soon. he may not be able to do more than my gp is, but i feel it's worth trying.
