Doctor appointments, weddings and other daily headaches.

Finally decided. Elopement is the way. As June 1st approaches things are falling in the right places.

While I still feel cramps and get dizzy half the time, tomorrow is my first lab appointment. I'm hoping to bump my second appointment that should land me in with the doctor much sooner.
My personal belief is one should not be so dizzy so often.

Canceled my plans with Raingem and our other sibling just cause I didn't feel good. Now where's the fun in that?

My fiance did take me around town a little bit today. Was absolutely wonderful, until mix of smells, lights and noises triggered a migraine.

And if my head wasn't feeling like it's in a pair of warm (huge) cat paws with strategically placed light bulbs emitting rays comparable to light sabers in contrast to darks and lights all around the room, it would be simply fantastic. Some of these visions could be up there with Salvador Dali, Van Gogh with touches of Pablo Picasso thrown in.

But then I always said migraineurs are the cheapest dates ever. Never need to drug them, recreation just happens.

In case of bumped up appointment with the doctor I came up with several questions that have been plaguing me for a short while already:

~Why do I get dizzy so often (supply the vitamins and most daily activities to the doc for reference)?

~Why do I feel so tired so often (am a very healthy person with migraines, and those generally knocked me out often but still no excuse, I take probably as much vitamins as I used to)?

~Can I manipulate my vitamin intake? Perhaps half the current vitamin pill and take half in the morning and half in the evening to maintain same energy level. Is there a different vitamin that will allow me several pills a day with slightly higher level of specific vitamins that give me more energy and slow down my migraine attacks?

~What causes this constant mild cramping? Been with me since the beginning, and while certain articles online show that it's normal, I feel, like most new mothers irrational fear about the whole thing.

~What exercises are healthy? I feel bad for missing my black belt testing this summer, but it's not going anywhere. I can test after the baby's born just as well next spring, or following summer. But sure would like to keep learning my material at least.

While researching migraines and pregnancy I came across an article where a lady with frequent migraines educates us on speaking to our doctors and preparing our loved ones in case of severe headaches.

I must admit I am yet to experience that sort of pain during my pregnancy, but according to my physician "Nobody knows for sure, pregnancy sometimes makes migraines go away, sometimes they'll stay the same, and sometimes they'll get worse".
So I have no clue. I used to get horrific migraines on regular basis at least 2-3 times a month, until I started taking magnesium supplements. That staved them off for a good amount of time. And taking vitamin supplements in general helped as well.

Another good post about Homocysteine and Migraines was written by yet another migraineur, and mentioned in a different blog by the husband of a migraineur.

More info is always a great thing.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any input whatsoever in on this list, please feel free and comment, I'll add them to my list and bring it to the doctor's office. And I won't leave until I get the answers. *huffs puffs and pets a kitty*

My head already hurts too much to look at this screen for the moment. I shall post with my results from meeting with doctor's nurse and lab tomorrow.
