Jun. 19th, 2014 09:32 pmWarnings for discussion of paralysis, fear, pain, and bad language
MRI: unpleasant (I’ve had 3 or 4, I think. Maybe 5?)
MRA: fuck that shit, it felt like I was on fire (only the once, thank fuck)
CT scan: I don’t really remember it? Concussions suck. But I think it might have been cool. Aside from, you know, the concussion.
EEG: not too bad, though the hyperventilation exercise was creepy
I’d just really like my head to stop hurting, okay? Really. That’s all I want.
I had a small episode earlier this week, unlike anything I've ever experienced, and possibly the most physical pain I've ever experienced (including that time I fell of a galloping (cantering?) horse). But my aunt the nurse checked me over and all the readings were normal. But I've had an actualfax migraine since, and my left arm didn't feel right until today. I've gotten used to always having a headache, but it's been awhile since a migraine's lasted this long.
But the episode... god, it was terrifying. Just sudden pain all over my body, bright light in my eyes (brain?), and I couldn't move, and I didn't want to move, and it felt like I was shaking inside, and everything was loud and echoey, and I felt so far away from everything, so removed... and I just. It was hours before I felt semi-normal again, and I freaked my little sister the fuck out, and I couldn't concentrate. I felt so tired but I didn't want to sleep (and my little sister didn't want me to sleep either, scared I wouldn't wake up).
So, yeah. I called my neurologist the next morning. Possibly my migraines are upgrading? Best cast scenario, I think. But I am so tired of my head hurting. I can't even remember how it felt when my head didn't hurt. I've gotten almost no work done for my thesis, and I don't even care because I can barely concentrate half the time. I just... I want it to stop. That's all.
