Migraines
I’m gonna be switching pills at the end of this pack. I’m going from OTC-lo to Ortho-Cyclen. From a triphasic to a monophasic. The reason is simple: migraines during the first few days on the “sugar” pills and the first week on the active pills. With monophasic, I’m guaranteed to be able to skip my periods (I’ve done it repeatedly with Alesse). Hopefully this’ll help. The nurse at the health department was a bit nervous on giving me pills period (any type of hormonal treatment), because of the migraines, but she gave me a month supply. Not looking forward to going back in a month, but it’ll be worth it. She was worried because migraines with the pills can be a possible pre-cursor to strokes. Since I’ve had all that testing (part and parcel to having been on the meds I was on when I was younger and the suicide attempt), the migraines are a big part of the stress that my brain and body can’t handle (stress migraines SUCK).
Speaking of that time of the month, I cannot wait until we get the official paperwork filled out for common law. The insurance Josh is getting is amazing. It covers all that we need it to cover: my TMJ surgery to fix my jaw and the braces that’ll be needed afterwards (wisdom teeth removal, and possible removal of a few molars), and it doesn’t count “pre-existing conditions”. There’s a co-pay with it, but DAMN, for not counting “pre-existing”, I’m all for it, XD.
