As night went on the vice grip just kept on tightening. It was so hard to work. As it tightened the memory also got worse. Pain remained on the left. It was enough to bring tears. I was having difficulty with consentration and remembering how to do my job. Not so much with the tasks, but the ordering of the tasks and/or priorities. Cannot wait until appointment with Dr. Chapman. Got home tried to rest before appt, called Wisconsin headache specialists and inquired regarding IV infusion... not pleased with results. posted to FB. Received call from TR. Good to talk to her and received encouraging words. Saw Dr. Chapman. It's so good to have healthcare professionals who listen to you and take you seriously. I asked him about IV infusion and he sent me immediately to Waukesha Memorial for an infusion of Depacon, requested the CT from Froedtert and ordered a new MRI from St. Joe's. It took the RN a while to find a vein. There was some immediate relief from the steroid, but the metallic taste in the mouth was pretty bad. When I got home I took my Ambien and slept to 9:45 then got up to go to work, I was fine for a couple of hours, then the head pain started again.
