Miserably SICK

All my estrogen and progesterone levels are still good.  Strong took me off the supplementary estrogen and progesterone......but I'm still on the patches and daily shots.  The next blood draw is in 10 days and that will reveal if I'm ready to come off of all the drugs.  However, my regular ob/gyn might want me to stay on the shots until 23 weeks.  I'm praying I understood that wrong.  I will find out on Friday when I go back for another appointment.  Coming off the supplemental estrogen and progesterone sent me into a severe 3 day migraine.  All I wanted to do was go to Emergency, but I don't know that they can give me the glorious migraine shots that they normally give me.  I suffered through.  It was rough.  Other than that, I'm completely SICK all the time.  I usually can get through work, but by 5p through the night, I'm quite sick. Some nights I can't sleep and I'm awake and throwing up.  Seriously miserable.  I can't get anything done around the house. Dishes and junk and chores piles up.  It doesn't seem to bother Dave and Evan and I'm too sick to nag or beg them to help.  We've eaten the following meals this week:  MacDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Kraft Mac & Cheese, Pizza slices from the gas station.  It's been pretty rough.  I've never experienced such agony for such a long period of time.  Having Dave gone for most of the week makes it much, much worse.  I'm praying that this ends after the first trimester.  I'm at week 9 right now.  That's not very far.  It's going to be a long, long road.
