Yippee.

My three munchkins, this summer, peacing-out in front of our future president's Hyde Park house. :)

I still can't see. Hospital, Drs, drugs, chiropractor.. don't know what's next. I can't imagine not having it at this point; this is the migraine that refuses to go away. Half of everything on my left side is swirling, glowing, spinning and making me sick. Back to closing my eyes.. can't get into a neurologist until 11/18. I heart Kaiser. Thank you, everyone, for the emails, the well-wishes on the blog, the ideas, etc. I'm faking it at the job. It's not purty. I'll be back on when I can see the whole screen again..

  6. I just want to add that I'm very impressed with your dedication to your blog. Even blind, in the midst of a horrendous migraine you're still posting updates!

    Hope you turn the corner in a hurry - at least you can relax, secure in the knowledge that your fellow countrymen finally made an intelligent choice. Congrats!

  7. Hey, have you thought about acupuncture? I have a great one in Kailua, sort of my last resort when nothing else works. She's great with the needles, the burning weed stuff and the strange chinese herb pills she give you, and it helped me with my migraine this summer. She takes Kaiser if you have the chiro/acupuncture coverage on your plan.

  15. This experience sounds downright terrifying. And having to start a new job on top of it all sounds even scarier. I hope this resolves quickly.

  21. Oh Jeez Rachel, I sure hope it goes away soon, I'm so sorry you are still dealing with it!

  22. Having to wait two weeks to see a neurologist does not surprise me. When I returned to England 12 years ago in really bad shape I was initially told I would have to wait a month to see the specialist. Fortunately, the GP got me to meet with him the next day. Sometimes you just can't wait. In Taiwan the health service is heaven by comparison. Stay positive.

  25. awe Rach. I honestly cannot believe you're anywhere but a dark room. You are so much tougher than me...I've been there and I would not be doing anything but laying in a dark room with something cool and soft on my eyes. I don't know what else to say. You are one badass woman.

    My head hurts just thinking about it.

    xo,

  26. I am so sorry, Rach. From one migraine sufferer to another....I feel your pain. Days of migraine is intolerable though. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I am really hoping you feel better soon and they figure out how to treat it...
