Hello my old friend!!
First off, if your med is a time released kind and/or it says right on the label not to split them, then it can be REALLY dangerous to do it. Not even just in half!
Your best bet is to call and talk to your doctor's nurse - tell her you are getting "x" number of headaches a month and your prescription is only for 9. Have you had any other tests yet - like an MRI or CAT scan? Do they know about your relationship and what has happened to you? Some of that could also cause headaches and problems.
I've been pretty lousy myself... My brother-in-law of 30 yrs has rectal cancer, responding well to chemo but it's still considered Stage 4 & terminal. After my Dad's death from colon cancer 4 yrs ago this has been a real shock to all of us.
I've been feeling sorry for myself because Mr. Ruth is working so many hours and end up writing less on here lest I whine!
I can't tell you how encouraged I am to hear how you are. A few comfort pounds are good for you! (chips & Mtn Dew for me!) and HealthBoards is always good for a chance to maybe help someone else and gain a little self-eteem!!
Salty, make a pledge to stop by more often! You have so much to share, and so much experience in some of the relationship areas...
