Long time no blog . I had a eventful Thursday . Woke up with a bad headache , so bad in fact I was in tears . I was "this close" to going to the hospital then & there , but decided to take pills here & use a cold compress on it . Once I got it under control , I made a appointment with the MD . Went to the MD's later that morning & described how I've been having these for years , but todays was the worst & they are getting more frequent & more painful each time . SHE sent me to the hospital for a CAT-scan . I went , it didn't show anything wrong . She still wants me to get a MRI , as the CAT-scan may not show what the MRI will . I want to get it done as I really want to know just what is wrong . If it's migraines , then I want to figure out what meds I need . If it's something else , then let's straighten that out too .
My opinion , for what it's worth . I always get them while still in bed . They always wake me up out of a sound sleep . I can feel them building up , & I have to get out of bed as laying down actually hurts my head worse then not . I think I may have something pinched in my neck . I'm not ruling out that they are migraines , but I think they happen from me laying in bed a certain way . One thing the MD told me was that men usually get cluster headaches & women get migraines . My headaches never last beyond 1 day ( so far , thank god ) . So i may be a exception to that rule . I just hope that we can figure out something as I'm getting tired of thinking it's all in my head , as it were .
