It's not a TOO-mah!

[sereneorange]

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.

Oh man. I hope you're feeling much better soon.

If you want, I will go with you ... to CT scan or Dr. appt's ... just let me know. I hope you are feeling better and that it was just a stubborn sinus problem.

Lots of hugs and love!

it has been so long since I have had one. Do I get drugged any? or is it just the dye injection. (that shit hurt when I was little )

[goodnightnowgo.livejournal.com]

If they do the contrast, then it's just an IV ... the worst part is putting the needle in, after that it's a piece of cake. The good news is that a CT scan takes only a few minutes (as opposed to an MRI which goes on FOREVER).

So, do you want me to go with?

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

sure. Could use the support. I am making jokes, but you know me, I am nervious.

When I have a sinus headache that lasts too long, I head to the eye doctor and say "FIND THE TUMOR!!"

[xcentrikka.livejournal.com]

I hope it is most definitely no way not a tumor!

I don't have any reflexes either! Heh.
