So my migraine aura continued all through last night and all day today. It's still here now. I've been dizzy and drunk-feeling. At a few points, I felt pretty nauseous. I have a vomit phobia, so this is really, really not my thing.

On the upside (sort of), I may have figured out what's triggering them: my ovarian cyst/crazy hormones from my ovarian cyst that was/something related to the pain in my lower right abdomen. My first migraine came within 48 hours of the start of my abdominal pain, and each one seems to happen within a day or two of each re-start of the pain. I didn't realize until I took a look at my calendar. I really am a scientist at heart, I keep track of my symptoms of anything on my calendar, so I know for sure when they started and how much. (If you've taken a psych class, you know how flexible "memory" can be....) Anyone else ever have hormone-related migraines? What was your experience?

Anyhow, I have an appt. with my PCP on Tuesday, and my OBGYN was supposed to call today, but didn't.....maybe tomorrow? Even though it's Saturday? Please? I really hope I can get this solved soon, and I hope it's all because of my eggers that this is happening. (Rather than something more permanent/undefineable.) Some people live their lives with this kind of thing, I don't know how they cope.

Honestly, I'm pretty scared. I know I have to keep my chin and my spirits up, and I will try, but at the same time I'm coming to realize how easily I succumb to physical ailments.

Can somebody restore my faith in humanity please?
I've had enough now. I'm tired and lonely and just so fed up.

Yesterday my rather mousy boss observed that when I am very busy, the expression on my face becomes one that scares her, and she's afraid of giving me anything more to do when I'm like that.

Today, someone else told me I simply looked tired.

I think my 'don't fuck with me' aura needs work...
