Fish out of Water

At the end of the day, I am reminded that at best I am a stay at home mother without children at home anymore.  The business world is not my league and my lack of a college degree is showing.  Really feeling inferior today.  I need grandbabies.

Permanent Headache: Day 219 - Hemicrania Continua

Permanent Headache: Day 219 - Hemicrania Continua

The more I read of personal accounts and stories, the more I believe HC is what I have. My headache started in April 2010...no history of headaches and no family history. I've had every test imaginable and been to every specialist I could. They got better around Thanksgiving of 2010 but gradually crept back starting in February 2011 and hit full force with a vengeance in the past month. The latest episode ended with a visit to the ER with bloodpressure spiking at 200/100, IV's with Toredol and yet another CT scan that showed nothing. This is the most depressing, distressing, misery I've ever experienced. I'm headed back to the neuro./headache specialist that suspected HC.

It's sad to hear about the pain and suffering of others but comforting that people can relate and sympothize and I'm not alone or crazy!

One Strike and You're Out!!

Why does it take one word, one comment, one situation or even a feeling to bring back the insecurity and self doubt of my childhood?  I don't even know what it was today, but the bad feeling in the pit of my chest is not going away.
