It's never that easy

In the past 12 days, I've had 6 migraines.  Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago where I was bragging about how many days I'd gone without one?  I guess I jinxed myself.  Lesson learned- it's never that easy.  Next time I'll keep it to myself.  It all started on that horrible week that all we females are blessed with (please note extreme sarcasm), and I didn't think much of it.  I mean I just figured Aunt Flo would always bring me an extra gift in the form of pain that has to be comparable to labor.  So I wasn't really worried that week...and then the next week came and I had a couple more and I figured I just had to get out of this particular cycle...but I'm still in it.  Thursday I went to acupuncture for the 1st time in 2 weeks and that helped - for Friday at least.  This morning was worse than it'd been since late summer. The only thing I can think of is that I tried a different brand of CoQ10.  My acupuncturist said that they may process it differently which could make a difference.  So I got another bottle from him.  Here's hoping.  Honestly, my next neurologist appt is in December, and I really think if I'm not better I may  just throw in the towel and take the Topamax.  I'm just so exhausted and irritated from these freakin' headaches.  They rule my moods...and my life. I hate the thought of Topamax but I guess I need to weigh what my priorities are.  I was lying in bed waiting for my meds to kick in and I just kept thinking how angry I was and how I was just so sick and resentful for getting migraines so often.  I mean seriously - half my life is spent with  migraines.  That is not an exaggeration.  I am at least lucky enough that imitrex gets rid of my headaches, but  it seems kind of silly and stubborn of me to be so hesitant to take something that would prevent such pain.   Why am I refusing to try what has been so successful with so many other people?  Some family/friends don't understand natural remedies...so I think I get defensive sometimes.  So maybe I"m just being spiteful and trying to make CoQ10 work so that I can prove them wrong.  I mean - I AM a Scorpio, so I wouldn't put it past me.  Anyway, I guess it's more food for thought.  I have another month and a half before my  next dr's appt.  Maybe the answer will be obvious at that point.
