Tuesday

I am doing a little better today, for which I am very thankful! Boy, going back into those headaches is difficult again. It seems that there is a delay of a day after decreasing the dose of the "old" medication before I hit a wall and then struggle for a few days. We'll see how tomorrow goes but thankful today was better.

Did you lower the old meds last night and higher the dose of the new one? Isn't that Friday night that you do that? How do you feel today?
