It's not a TOO-mah!

or maybe it is.

I am on day 6 of a headache. Yesterday, it got bad enough I cried. I then picked up the phone and made a Dr. appt for this morning. It is the top of my head, about 3 1/2 " long and 1 1/2 " wide. It never moves. It never goes away and my hair hurts. If I touch my hair or the wind blows it, the follicles over that headache area hurts really bad. Sinus meds don't effect it, and motirn and Tylenol take it down for a while, but it just comes back just as hard.

Saw the doctor this morning. She went over family and personal medical history. When I mentioned the tumor I had behind my eye and my sister dying of brain cancer, her eyes bugged. I laughed and said, "aren't you supposed to NOT do that so you don't scare me?"

She did a couple of tests there for signs of stroke or tumor. Nothing. I apparently have no reflexes though. Is that bad? That was the only thing that didn't work. I could do all the touching my nose and pulling and pushing with arms and legs.

She gave me a shot of immitrex and a shot of torodol. I thought I wasn't going to sleep. WRONG. I had a nice $25 hour and a half nap. I called Tiffany at work to come pick me up and take me to work.

I feel high. I am incredibly relaxed. I still have a slight headache and my hair still hurts.

I have a CT Scan scheduled for next Tuesday.

I leave you with this.

 

Headache day 6

So I got the shots of Immitrex and Tordol today and slep 1.5 hours at the doctor's office today.

Then I tried to work for a few hours. I went home at 4 PM because everyone kept telling me I looked stoned.

Quite frankly, I was stoned.

I slept from 4:30 to 8:30.

Guess what I had waiting for me when I woke up?


You guessed it. A headache. Tylenol makes it tolerable. It will have to tide me over until the CAT scan on Tuesday and the results.
