Enter the Soul & be Reborn

Those who are close to me have know about the severe Migraine I had close to two weeks ago that resulted in me going to the hospital for when I couldn't stop the bad shaking. I had a good sized bag of ice on my head that was melting and I had soaked hair. Mom had picked me up and she was very upset and worried.

We had never had this happen before with my migraines. Yes, had the pain, the extreme nausea and the all time fave... non-stop being sick.

I stayed for fours hours there until the lights, the noises and the shaking was too much and I desperately needed a dark room with a cold pack. And begged mom to take me home. While I was there Mom was chatting with a nice intern who mentioned that his mother also suffered from migraines and she shook badly too. Said it was a side effect to the migraines to cause the nerves to shake and tremble. (Okay. That was new info so I quickly adapted to the new migraines. And got on with my life with extra knowledge and insight.)

I got home - took a full Tylenol One, grabbed my ice pack and went to my darkened room.

Just this week I went to my family doctor about this new development. He is concerned I may have had a seizure during my migraine. So he had drawn up the papers and sent them off for me to have a CAT scan and see the neurologist. He wants to rule out anything else.

EDIT:: I got my appointment for the CAT Scan. Ironically it's on Sept 11th. In the Afternoon.

I'm worried. I hope it's just the (insert fave curses here) migraine being a pain in the head self and not something more.

I'm tired. My job is more tiring than I first thought. And after four weeks of extremely painful (I mean as soon as you sit down you can't get back onto your feet because they are screaming in pain) sore feet. I had purchased new shoes for the job and after the first week of awful pain.. bought three pairs of insoles that during the following three weeks had been using in rotations throughout each day.

(Finally got another pair of shoes Timberland's Pro shoes and they are Love)

I'm tired. I struggle to maintain my happy face and personality. Don't let the weakness show through.

I'm disappointed. In myself. I have made promises that I want to see through and it feels like I'm going to be failing those I made these promises to. To be unreliable... That I allowed work to make me useless for four weeks when I could have gotten things done...

I'm getting depressed. What if I am now going to be having in fact seizures. That will make my ability to work right sucky.. I can see being let go from my job.. I'll be a bigger problem for everyone close to me. I hate that. To become a burden.



Website:

I also wanted to squeak madly over my website!! :glomp: :hug: :smooch: :worship: :iconinugrrrl: gave me this wonderful pleasure of asking if I'd like my own site for my Art that would let me post all my works. I was purring at this idea and agreed happily!!

So here it is! [link]

I'm slowly posting my Art over there.

oh sweetie! i've been out of the loop too long! has your doc ever prescribed daily meds for your migraines? as a fellow sufferer (and i get all the joys too, the sensitivity to light and smell, the rolling nausea, and the feeling that if you bend over your forhead is just going to slid right off) i've been doing the topamax (and anti-seizure) and cymbalta (and anti-depressant with pain management benefits)for two and a half years now and it's been wonderfully helpful. i still get them, but not the same frequency.

some docs say that the seizure like symptoms as well as if you get really lethargic and thirsty the next day, sort of feel like your head is cloudy, it could be because of a seretonin deficiency (which oddly is also a cause of seizures as well as migraines). that's why some anti-seizure meds work so well.

good luck with the tests!!

I'm praying for you sweetie. I don't want to tell you what my family has been through until we know for sure what's the matter. But it's nothing truly frightening.
I'll light a candle for you darlin. Keep your chin up. I really hope everything will be just fine. I think Bluezinthos has the best advise. Bless her heart. :hug: Bless yours too doll face. :cuddle:

Keh!
:iconsnapesimp:
You need a big :hug: and :blowkiss:.

Just know that you are in my thoughts and I feel everything will be okay for you with your cat scan.
I have known people with migraine headaches, and I'm for sure glad that I don't suffer from them as well.

But I feel for you. From what you describe you have them in the worst way, and if seizures are involved, hopefully all is caused by the (&#*$***) migraines.

I'll be with you throughout the week. Lotsa love your way. :heart: :hug: :love:

I have also heard of the serotonin imbalance symptoms that BZ mentioned. It would be worth looking into. Try not to fret too much though Sweetie. Stress will just make it worse. And you should never feel like a burden to those who love you. I hope you get helpful results from the CAT. And I'm glad you got a good pair of shoes!!! Hang in there Sweetie! :hug:

:iconinugrrrl:
As always, you know you're in my thoughts. If there's anything I can do to hel, let me know. I get the migraines, too (as you know) and only recently I got the supper bad one you went through. I'm happy to say that I didn't get the shakes, but when dealing with that stuff you can never be too careful. I'm hoping that it was just a doozy of a headache and nothing more. Keep the faith and stay strong.

As for the stuff you feel obligated to do, if it's what I think it is, just let us know, okay? I don't want you overwhelmed with that when you have much more important things on your mind. :heart:

My new doctor has prescribed some Amerge to try when they come on. Which I need to wait for payday to fill.

Haven't had the joy of the forehead sliding off feeling yet.. That must feel so very weird and disturbing!

Hopefully this will be resolved in due time.

Hmmmm.. I wasn't lethargic/thirsty but did still have that blasted migraine.. (gotta love the ones that last for nearly the whole week)

Thanks! Fingers are crossed.

You know I'm there whenever you need me, we talked a bit about this already. So sweetie, don't panic, first they need to stop the migraines and find out what's going on. After that is taken care and while you are still in your job, search for a new one. Don't feel bad about it, maybe this job was what you needed at that moment. Bear in mind too that, when you are suffering sthg. like migraines nothing looks good, nothing. Things that never bothered you before now you can't stand them.

Will keep praying and will keep talking sweetie! You know you are loved, so whenever you need me just "call" me. Okay?!

Loves you!!! Big-squeezing-MamaHen's-huggggg

Gah i hate migraines, i must admit when i've had them the worse thats evers happened to me is that i lost my sight, thankfully two hours later i could see again yet still in a heck of a lot of pain. Though saying that i've not known anyone to have a seizure from a migraine before now and no ones ever mentioned to me other possible side affects.

Anyway lots of luck!!!
