Yep on the compazine, prometrium is mostly done that way because of the sleepiness side effect (from what I remember my RE telling me) and the flagyl was for BV. As for the migraine shot, I was so sick I hardly noticed it (unlike the tetanus shot I got from a fight with the wood fence I put up). :)

I always ask. I think my doctor does it to me because I ask too much. :) I know people had to have wondered just what was going on the last time I had my annual exam. People would have had to have heard us laughing outside the door. :) ;)
