Very different from the original!

Today I had my Mirena IUD removed because of the increasingly aggressive migraines I got after having it for only just over a year. I agonized the removal process simply because the insertion was so painful for me & basically laid me up for a few weeks. I've never taken to those things well. Ironically, it was exactly what they said it was... a five minute procedure with a little pinch & aside from slight cramping, it was great! According to the doctor, a small percentage of patients


The medications I've been taking have actually been reducing the migraines & now I can actually use some of the lights on in the house. I've even start opening some blinds bit by bit. Unfortunately natural sunlight still hurts like the devil so I still need my 'special' sunglasses. I'll take any progress I can.


Now hopefully my migraines will be gone & I'll be back to 'normal' (as normal as I was - wink wink) by mid April. We were forced to postpone our Vegas trip because of my migraines. I mean, how much fun could we possibly have walking around the brightest town in the United States & go clubbing til the wee hours of the morning when I can't even handle the suburbs? I really do believe everything will work out sooner rather than later.


Now we wait & see...
