Re: Need some perspective, please

I don't have medical suggestions but I know others will be along to help you with that. I just wanted to say I love you and hear you.
I will state the obvious, that you sound depressed. I mean in a clinical way that might benefit from medication (I know, more medication!). You are overwhelmed, rightfully so.
Don't I recall correctly that you had migranes in the past? What helped then? The fioricet will wear off (can't happen soon enough,huh?) and then you won't have to take it anymore.
I am so sorry this is happening to you but grateful that we have a place to share it. A burden shared is lessened. I always say "keep the faith" although sometimes it is hard. It is what we have.
