More medications

I tried the four different medications my doctor gave me and none of them worked. Well they worked by making me feel horrid, sick and passing out. So I got an EKG done today before I was put on an anti-depressent that helps with chronic pain, sleeplessness etc. It's actually a good thing because I take it before bed and it'll help me sleep as well as prevent the headaches. Then I take another medication if I actually have a headache. I hope these don't make me sick as well.

For a couple very scary days I thought garlic caused my headaches. I always eat garlic and I always have a headache so I stopped eating it...

and the headache went away. I was so upset thinking that was the cause and was actually happy when I got another headache even though I wasn't eating garlic. I have to keep very careful track of what I eat now and include spices as well. That'll be fun.

I also have an appointment on Monday to see if my headaches are tooth related. Cody said he thinks I grind my teeth in my sleep so they're going to check if I need a mouth guard (i think that's what it was anyway). Cody was surprised they got me in so fast and frankly so I was. I was expecting to have to wait until September or something.

So I've popped my pill for the headache and I'm looking forward to taking the other one tonight. I was warned that it could give me some very weird dreams or make me suicidal in which case I need to come back in. I'm hoping it works the way it is supposed to though and the headaches go away finally.
