Please define a “migraine”!
I’m feeling a bit .. not! I went to the docs last week and whilst she is happy(ish) with my mental state, blood test and scan results .. I tried to explain to her some of the symptoms I was suffering from – those which I am putting down to migraine. SHE.DIDN’T.BELIEVE.ME.
Today I had the osteopath .. he’s of the opinion that I am correct .. and we had the discussion “what constitutes a migraine – and is it the same in everyone?” .. the answer we concluded was a big fat NO! Everyone’s central nervous system is different.
We talked about my symptoms .. I note down each day what I physically feel like .. where the pain is, what I have eaten, done etc etc. On Saturday (having stayed with Icklesis overnight) I shook violently – to the point that she was very worried and I could hardly walk down the stairs – and the drive home was a nightmare (however the concentration on driving took away some of the symptoms)! I then got a monstrous headache when I got “home”. I took some Migraleve (and the anti-sickness drugs the doc has given me are working so at least I wasn’t vomiting Veronica) .. and surprise surprise the headache and stuff went. I said to the Osteo that I felt I had a “sciatic like” pain in my back .. he said it sounds like sacro… (and if I knew the term I would use it) .. but said that it would affect me physically .. we need to alleviate this. (He would .. at £45 an appointment .. lol) ..
I have a temp job next week, a probable tenant for my flat, THINGS are looking up .. I just need to keep the positive in my head ..
Things will keep getting better. xox
