some well-wishes would be nice

So, 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.

Oh no! That sounds terrible. I hope you feel better very soon! Is there any chance you're anemic? I had something very similar years ago and it ended up being due to an iron deficiency.

The bloodwork was fine. So is the MRI, apparently. *sigh*

I'm still losing my balance.

Oh my gosh, so sorry that you're feeling so sick. I hope the doctor figures out what it is and finds a good treatment. Good luck and take care!

[tigriswolf]

Thanks!

Well shit... *fingers crossed* the MRI and neurologist will be able to find whats wrong.

[tigriswolf]

Nope, no dice there. Seeing an ENT next week.

I hope everything works out okay!

[tigriswolf]

Thanks!

Wow, that's terrible. :( Hope the doctors figure out what's going on and you feel better soon. Good luck with everything. ♥

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

Hope you feel better soon and that it's nothing serious.

[tigriswolf]

Oh, I do, too. Thank you.

All my positive thoughts, you have them. I hope the MRI information comes back helpful. *hugs*

[tigriswolf]

It didn't. I'm seeing a different doctor next week.

Very scary. But you are getting it looked at - you have a neurologist on the job - you are doing all the right things. Be careful with the walking - no need to fall and break something on top of everything else! Get better soon!

[tigriswolf]

Thank you!

I hope you're okay, or the MRI at least tells you what's wrong so you can get it fixed.

Good luck with everything! *hugs*

[tigriswolf]

Nope, according to the MRI I'm perfectly healthy - despite still getting dizzy and having the migraine from Hell.

*cuddles*

[nival-vixen.livejournal.com]

Well ... That's odd. :(
I'm glad you're healthy, and all, but I kind of wish it had shown something so you knew what was wrong! :S

Hope it goes away and you feel better soon!

*cuddles back*

Holy crap babe. I had no idea any of this was going on but you will be in my heart and prayers.

[tigriswolf]

Thank you.
