One week on.

Well I've been on my new medication for a week, and i have to say so far so good. The first 3 days were uncomfortable with night sweats, and waking feeling really uncomfortable but that seemed to pass after not too long.
I can't say if i have had any more side effects, if i have they have not been too noticeable, and since being on them so far i have only had one very mild migraine this morning in the early hours, and i managed to catch it in time with a nasal spray and a cool and sooth sheet, so that i could get back to sleep and wake up a few hours later, with only the side effects of the nasal spray, my arm muscles hurting and feeling kind of tired.
Not bad for a first week, given that i am on the lowest dose, that means we have room to maneuver with increasing the dose if needed.
I also started college on Wednesday of last week, nothing really exciting as yet, we went through all the induction stuff, you know how it goes, here are the toilets, this is what to do in the event of the fire alarm going off, this is where the library is and the cafe. So hopefully this week things will get going, think i may be regretting saying that once i am into the course, its going to be a long and hard two years, but well worth it. My plan is to work with people with mental health issues, but i also have an idea to work with people who have migraines, helping them to cope.
I have asked tutors if there are such things as migraine counsellors, and its not something that they have come across, so that may turn out to be quite a challenging route, but i think working with kids and adults who have to live with sever migraines would be hard but really rewarding, and lets face it i have a good understanding of the frustration, fear and anger that this condition can cause!
For now i will focus on my course and get through the next two years before thinking too much about that.
