There are some days, bad headache days, where I feel like things will always be this way. NO matter how many doctors I go to, how many pills I take, whatever exercises I do...it just ends up the same way!!
I went to the ENT today, and they think my headaches might be allergy related. Well, I kind of figured that would happen, but if what he gave me works, then praise be to the living God. Because I would rather have it be allergy induced migraine like headaches than Intracranial Hypertension, which more than often, results in a surgical cure. With the ringing in my ears, constant headache, floaters in my vision and feeling like my face is going to basically blow up; if it's just allergies, I'd be surprised, but my body has done weird things before. I am going to start working with an audiologist and taking some vitamins for the ringing, because it's driving me NUTS, and there's no real medication that you can give for ringing in the ears, and I would much prefer the natural route anyway. I am also getting blood allergy tested for just about everything, so I can avoid whatever I'm allergic to, even if they find out my headaches are caused by something else.
So, at 22 let's list off my specialists I have:
an ENT, a gastroenterologist, a neurologist, a dietician, a nutritionist, a neurosurgeon, a gastric surgeon, an OB/GYN, a sleep disorders doc/respiratory doc....I think that's enough for now.
There are days when I feel like I'm 70 years old with all of the shit my body puts me through, and I don't know if anyone, truly not in this position could fully understand. I just want to go back to feeling like someone my age again, and not have to worry about taking my meds on time, or which one is going to interact with which or whether my head is going to hurt so bad I'm not going to be able to go to school, or whether I'll be able to feel my face today or whether I"ll be able to eat real food....NOT WHAT I WANT TO WORRY ABOUT.
I hope everyone else is doing well! :)
Until next time, and hopefully something happy will be here next time,
Moe
