Newest Development in the Drama of my Head
I started seeing a Chiropractor. I really like the guy and his office. He really is trying to help me and is sympathetic to me needing to get rid of these damn headaches.
So, I go in for 15 min PT on my neck. Last week I started getting pressure point massages. Those seemed to really help. I had one during a headache, the headache went away... but did come back later. The fact that it went away, was enough to get me all teary.
The latest development is the vertigo. I've had it before, a slight loss of balance or dizziness. Always I tend to lean or fall to the right (the side my head usually hurts on). At first, it was very sporatic. Now it's getting more common. Even happening in the car, and I drift to the right then!
I talked with Dr. Black about it. He wants to order a brain MRI. We're gonna give it a couple of weeks since it could be related to the Pressure Point therapy. But, it's been happening longer than I've been having that. I think he's more giving me time.
With us needing to make a decision about insurance in the next couple of weeks, I'm gonna call up my regular Dr. tomorrow for an appointment. If he decides to order one, then I can at least get some valium to go through the machine on!
Vertigo is a common symptom of migraine. With and without the headaches. Apparently, there are good drugs to go with it. I just hate hate hate being on drugs for anything.
It's a bit scary seeing the expression on Dr. Black's face when telling him about this. And Jason's afterward.
Well, as usual my head hurts. I need to go to bed, but had a hard time sleeping. Maybe I'll be able to drift off here soon. I know reading the medical papers online help me get sleepy.
