Note to Dr

This post is so I remember to tell the DR when  my first major headache returned after out last Botox treatment on Nov 11th.  I woke up about 5:45 with 7.5 level headache.  I was able to go back to sleep, but it remained upon waking up at 7 am.  It will be a phenergan day, as I am already feeling nauseous.

Tuesday 1/25, went to someones house to home teach them.  She is a smoker, while there headache went from mild/ almost non-existent to a level 8.  Came home and took phenergan  to control nausea.  Headache remained until Thursday when it went away.

Friday, no headache, but could feel base of skull was hurting quite a bit, so at  my wife's suggestion I used Flexal 54.  Within 20 minutes, went from no headache to a pain level 7, with lots of pain behind left eye.  Saturday was a moderate  headache, improving as the day went on.  Averaged about a pain level 4.

Sunday woke up, in severe pain, level 9,  but surprisingly without nausea  in the beginning. Was light sensitive most of the day.  Used muscle relaxers  3 times throughout the day.  By end of day pain level only decreased to a level 7. 

Since then this week it has bounced between a 2 and 6.  Often intensity varying within minutes from previous pain levels  .  Little pain, lots pain and back and forth throughout the day.  This not the norm for me, and may be due to Botox wearing off.
