Vemma diary: week seven

Friday 13 July 2007

Well, I had a migraine. Not happy. Oh dear. Even though I feel disappointed, I’m still remaining optimistic that Vemma will have a positive effect on my migraine. In a way it already has. The days following my attack, my hair was not limp and lifeless, as noted in my previous post. In fact, considering I was over due for a cut and highlights, my hair was looking pretty good. And that my friend, is thanks to the Vemma.

So onwards and upwards, and my mission continues. I plan to make an appointment with a specialist at King’s College London headache clinic. I want to find out if there is any new research and any other avenues that I can explore. My GP, when I asked for a referral letter, seemed quite taken aback saying ‘they won’t tell you anything different from what I can tell you,’ as she tried to offer me more preventive drugs that I have tried and don’t want to try again. Sitting there in the throws of a migraine, I answered somewhat aggressively ‘well, King’s College London is world renowned for its research so I think they will have plenty of new things to tell me!’ Never cross a migraine sufferer ha ha.

Talk, talk, talk
Since starting my blog, I have been talking more and more about my migraine. This is because my blog is making me think more and more about my condition, as I search for new ways to combat it. It’s good to talk and it’s equally as good to write it down. Those years of bottling it all up are well and truly passed, and I feel so much better for it.
