Finally made it to the doctor :-) ~Spoiled Babygurl~

A few days ago, I posted a message about going to the doctor to see if she would refer me to a therapist. I was past due for my yearly check-up so I went on in today.

My usual doctor called in sick so I had to see one that I have never seen before. I discovered alot from this woman! For one she is darn good and knows what she is talking about..

First thing she asked was why my cheeks were so puffy. I told her that I had a severe headache last night and couldn't sleep. She asked how often this happens and I said at least twice a week.

She then asked me what helped soothed my headache.. I told her that I have to go into a dark room, with no sound at all and lay for 30 mins. I also told her that I will sometimes get sick at my stomach over my head hurting.

She asked me what my usual doctor did to try and help this and I told her that she just keeps changing my birth control pills because she thought it was that doing it. She said, "Oh my goodness, it is not your birth control pills, you have a severe migraine disability!"

She went on to ask me further questions.. Without me even mentioning to see a therapist she brought it up to me. Because of my mood swings, anger and depression. She hasn't referred me yet, because there is a 3 month waiting period right now to this place..

She decided it would be a great idea if I had a thyroid test done also. She went on to metion that I need to quit smoking, so she is also gonna help me with this. She switched my birth control pills to Ortho Tri-Cyclen because my face was breaking out bad with the other pills. She really pushed the birth control patch on me big time also, because she said it keeps a steady amount of hormones going thru your body better than the pill does.

So, I only have one month of these pills and then I have to go back to her and decide which way I wanna go with this. She gave me some more Buspar but lowed the dose, because the last dose I had made me not care about anything. She also gave me some Trazodone, she said this was to help me sleep, but I later found out it is an antidepression medicine.

I only got samples of the migraine medicine which is Zomig. She said if that helped my headaches then she would give me a prescription for them. This doctor really opened my eyes, my old doctor never really spent time trying to figure out what was going on. So, I now have a new doctor :-)

I just thought I would share this with ya. My arm is so sore tho.. they blew out my vein while taking blood.. :-( I should know the results to my thyroid test tomorrow..

Thanks for reading!
