Well it has been a little over a month since I have received
my Botox treatment! The first few weeks were a little rough as my body adjusted
(body aches in example). However, after about 6-7 regular to above regular pain
days I thought for sure this was never going to work and prepared my arsenal in
hope of better days ahead. After the
first week I slowly started to notice that my migraines were less frequent and
less intense!
I have also been working hard to maintain my diet, exercise,
and level of stress. July 4-9th I had the biggest test so far of my
treatment. 240 people, 5 days, 4-H Camp! I took all the possible supplies I
might need, and prayed hard that I would not need them. Through rain, a little
thunder, and humidity my health was trialed, but I survived without a large
migraine or more than a little loss of function.
My job is often high-demanding this time of year with camp,
and then followed directly by our judging for 4-H projects. I was delighted to
find that I wasn’t plagued with migraines, but just a post camp sinus infection
and double ear infection. Since then I have been feeling “slower” than normal,
but my pain is limited. I feel like I’m beginning to see what it might be like
to have my life back!
I was able to help raise a little over $200.00 for the CMA
group. I felt accomplished sending that check to them! I’m hoping to find more
ways to support the CMA group and help document my journey through migraine
treatments.
I am somewhat anxious about how It will be as the Botox
wears off before my next treatment. I’ll be sure to continue documenting my
journey on here and with the others from the CMA group.
