I have an appointment with a headache specialist tomorrow (10/20/2008) at 10:30am.
Background info:
I have had very severe headaches for like 6 months or more.
I have at least one migraine-type headache (if not several) almost daily, and medications don't seem to really help.
My headaches can range anywhere from just a bad headache, to headache with nauseousness
(sometimes they can actually make me physically ill) and sensitivity to light and sound, and/or blurred vision... to anywhere in between.
Sometimes, I get the headache first, and then get all the other stuff (nauseousness, etc.), sometimes
the other symptoms come before the headache and get progressively worse as my headache builds...
and sometimes I can even get the other symptoms without my head even hurting. These headaches
have been known to keep me bed-ridden for like 20 hours a day (or more), simply because if I move
even the slightest little bit... I end up crying and/or screaming out in pain.
Like 2 months ago, I ended up going to the ER and then
getting hospitalized for 5 days, and sent home with a
diagnosis of "probable migraines" and a recommendation to see a headache specialist.
And recently, new symptoms have been showing up. I will get a really bad headache, and then my legs will just start jumping/moving involuntarily. I have also started passing out. And like a week ago, I had a really really bad headache, and I lost my ability to speak!!!!! I was crying it hurt so bad, and my legs were jumping. My husband was trying to ask me where it hurt and stuff... and I was trying to tell him, but when I opened my mouth to talk, nothing happened. Then, he kept trying to get me to say BANANA BIRTHDAY, and no matter how hard I tried, all I could get out of my mouth was "BBBBBBBBBBBBBB...."
So yeah (sorry I rambled) but like said, I am finally going to see the headache specialist tomorrow.
And I don't know why but I am really nervous. Maybe it's fear of the unknown... I don't know.
(I should be happy that maybe finally I will have answer... right?)
So...yeah... umm... hugs, or prayers, or positive energy, or anything you can spare would be most appreciated. please??? http://forums.psychcentral.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forums.psychcentral.com/images/smiliesb/icon_cry.gif
