I had the worst headache of my life in early December. Accompanied by nausea and blurred vision, I had never experienced anything like it before. I called the doctor and he called in some Imitrex for me. It helped a lot and I was able to sleep that night. My blood pressure decided to hit the roof for no apparent reason so now i am on blood pressure medicine until who knows when. Christmas Eve I got hit with another migraine but I took the imitrex immediately and when I got home from work, mom watched Blake a little longer so I could lay on the couch with my eyes covered. Those of you who've had migraines know that light and sound make it way worse.
With that said, I've been getting headaches every day which sucks really bad. My doctor did a cat scan and thankfully nothing showed up but the headaches continued. Two weeks ago, he made me an appointment with a neurologist and he wanted me to get an MRI of my brain (which thank God showed up normal). He put me on some medicine that I take daily to keep from having headaches.
One possible explanation for the headaches is the extreme tightness I have in my back and neck. Apparently I carry my stress there and believe me, there is a lot of stress hanging out in there, hahahaha! I started Physical Therapy last week at this new place. The therapist is East Indian and uses a combination of new and old world therapies which are fantastic. I did the electric therapy yesterday where they use electric currents to loosen up the muscles. IT was great! A little strange at first but felt really good after a while.
While they were trying to figure out what was causing my headaches, my blood work came back indicating that my thyroid wasn't doing it's job so now I get to take daily Thyroid medication. I feel like my Residents at work when I'm taking all these pills every morning and night! Poor things! So anyway, I'll quit complaining now but please think about me and keep me in your prayers!
