Today I actually had several hours when I experienced a clear mind and no headache. About an hour after taking my medication the fog lifted and I felt good for a while. It was great!
Only a few days ago I wrote about taking too many pills and how I didn't think I could do much about that. Well, now I'm happy to report that I have successfully reduced my prescription pain medication to 7 per week as suggested by my doctor. The osteoarthritis and the fibromyalgia hurt more but it's worth it not to be triggering migraine headaches.
I increased the Topamax for prevention of migraines for the last time this morning and I believe that's what gave me a clear mind at last. I've been working on reducing or stopping some of my other medications too. They are too expensive and also have too many negative side effects. I plan to take only what is absolutely necessary from now on.
Next month I will begin some alternatives to medication such as acupuncture and massage. I'm looking forward to trying these. I'm glad I'm no longer going to be taking "too many pills". I feel certain it will be a benefit to my physical health and probably won't make much difference in my level of depression or anxiety.
An improvement in my health and an improvement in my bank balance would make me feel great!
