Well, I'm off to the hospital today.
You see, I've been having headaches. All the time. 24/7.
It's gotten to the point where its really invading my life. I have to constantly take meds, keep a journal rating the pain of my headache, and continue to live my life as if nothing is happening to me.
I've gotten a blood test, I've talked with my doctor, and no one seems to know what the hell is wrong.
"It's just stress" has been the most common, cop-out answer. It isn't stress. I know it isn't because when I was on vacation, being the most relaxed I had been in a very long time, I had one of the worst bouts of headaches I'd ever had.
Well now I'm off to see a 'specialist'. Forgive me if I'm sceptical, but I feel like he won't be able to figure out what's wrong either.
I've pretty much resigned myself to living the rest of my life with these headaches, slowly becoming accustomed to the constant pressure in my brain.
I just hope I'm wrong.

those headaches sound like they blow huge chunks.
ReplyDeletei used to have a lot of really weird stomach aches when i was younger & throw up a lot. we went to like four doctors and they all just said that it was my stomach & intestines "growing" & when i got older they would go away.
which we stopped believing by the time i turned fourteen. so we went to a new specialist & he said i had a "nervous" stomach that kind of failed in being put in right. and also that i was allergic to sulphur, which didn't help (sulphur is in eggs. eating eggs, which i am allergic to, would thus make my stomach upset).
& he was the one that figured out that i was a mirror twin awhile back, which explained my retarded stomach (it didn't split right.)
so don't lose faith! you just need to find the right doctor & they'll honestly make it all worth it & will make you healthy & better for the rest of your life. YAY!
A heart warming tale!
