some well-wishes would be nice
Apr. 23rd, 2012 09:03 pmSo, last Sunday I had the worst cramp I've had in a long time. A week ago today I had a migraine, terrible cramps, felt over all like crap, and had to stop and catch my balance a few times so that I wouldn't fall.
Tuesday was worse. Tuesday I had to call for a ride home from work and saw my neurologist, who told me to go home, rest, and see if it passed.
It hasn't. The problem has grown worse. I saw my neurologist again on Friday and had an MRI today. I've had a headache the whole time and kept having to catch my balance. Every time I stand, I have a moment of vertigo. I tried doing the dishes as an experiment to see what I can do: took three times longer than it usually does and, wow, I felt like shit afterwards.
I haven't been to work since Tuesday. I can't drive. I almost fell down after bringing one load of groceries in from the car.
But I had a job interview two weeks ago and recieved a voicemail during my MRI - they'd like to talk about me going to work for them. And I can't drive right now. I have no idea what's wrong with me, the doctor has no idea, and if the MRI doesn't tell us anything? What the fuck do we do then?
So, yeah. I'm a little bit scared. My head still fucking hurts, and I'd really like to be able to walk from one room to the other without having to grab something or rest against the wall.
On the plus side, according to the lab's scale, I've lost a couple pounds. Booyah.
