Headaches
I'm experiencing horrible migraines on an almost daily basis. Yesterday was a blur - lots of narcotic painkillers and very little sleep. I'm in the midst of a vicious cycle. I'm sleep deprived (or even if I do get 6 hours of sleep, it's not consecutive due to my shift of the early morning feedings). So between the post-partum hormones swirling around my body and the disrupted sleep, I'm getting migraine after migraine. The medication only makes me more tired, so I nap when I can, but I feel like I will never catch up. Each day brings the same cycle - disrupted sleep, migraine, medication, more fatigue, etc. It's like the movie Groundhog Day...

Oh my, I am so sorry you are experiencing such a horrible post portum...as if normal is not bad enough. Have you tried reflexology? I have done it for migraines and while I was a skeptic, it was amazing...and since there are no drugs involved, there was no side effects. Maybe you could find someone and get a treatment, they sometimes do housecalls. You would be able to get amazing sleep afterwards and the migraine would be gone. At least that one migraine. When I get them on a regular basis they prevent a good amount of the migraines. Anyway, I hope you get some relief soon!!!
