Urgh! Give me nausea back any day! I swear my brain is trying to force its way out of my eyes and nose!! The headache was so bad yesterday my gums were throbbing! It was on the top of my head, my forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, throat. Argh!!! I remembered to take some Naproxen this morning (will take another now) and it's at least helped with the muscle tension around my neck.
I would much rather be nauseous than this. I still don't understand why my symptoms are switching round. Everything is still there, all the time, but they swap which is the main one every week or two.
I'm still very nauseous after I eat, but on a total food rampage at the moment. Trying very hard to eat as healthily as I can and make better choices. But yeah, really hungry! I just feel sick and very dizzy after I eat. I mean the nausea is still there, all the time, like everything, but it's worse after I eat now.
The headaches tho, man they're horrible!! I actually woke up a few times last night because the pain was so intense!
Anyway, yeah, gall stones. Yay..... Ffs! Hopefully because I generally eat healthily (90% of the time
) I can keep the symptoms at bay. Of course because she poked me yesterday I'm a touch tender today, but hoping that will ease off. It's an odd sensation tho. it's not painful, but feels odd, almost like a pinch! But yeah, not painful and really hoping they choose to leave that alone.
Treatment seems to be either be "See how you get on" And Oddsock says her Mum takes some meds if hers flares up and avoids certain foods. Or they just remove the gall bladder. I would have to be in crippling pani or dying to agree to surgery. So yeah, not so much an option right now.
A friend of mine knows a fair bit about this and says my healthy diet really should keep it at bay. So, fingers crossed
Took Mum to her appointment at the Neurophysiology department today. I seriously want to punch her consultant in the face! It was the same test she had done a few years back and basically, what they do is electrocute you and see what happens. 20 minutes of electrocution!! And I know that sounds dramatic, but I was there and saw again just how nasty it is. Apparently someone without pain would just feel it as a pulse. But, you put that on someone who's still recovering from surgery AND has multiple chronic pain illnesses?!
The lady doing it was lovely though and she did it very quickly and was very sympathetic, which was nice. But still....
Anyway, we decided to go for lunch at Otterspool coz Mum was so shaken up and upset. If we'd have come home she'd have cried and probably stayed in her room and stuff. She was really struggling with her hands though and took her about an hour to eat her lunch
We just stayed for ages and chatted and took our time. I was way too full to eat cake so we got some to bring home and share
We had a nice, very slow, short walk along the prom by the river, which was nice. The two of us though going at a tortoise pace and being a bit stumbly, must have looked odd
When we got in I cleaned out the bunnies and finally de-poo'd the garden. It was getting on my nerves and no one else was going to do it
And we just finished watching Dollhouse
Was my 3rd re-watch but Mum's first time seeing it all the way through. Tis an amazing show!
The Conjuring was in no way the most terrifying film in recent years
I thought Dark Skies was scary and I don't scare easily! I liked it though and loved the storyline
Right, going to pick a film off Netflix and try and relax a bit. Not been sleeping well at all - seems to come alongside the increased headache "cycle". Honestly, why does my body have to be so weird?!
Just waiting for the consultant to call me back when he sees the ultrasound results. Joy! STILL no sign of an endocrine referral...... *tries not to be angry*
Hope everyone's ok. See y'all tomorrow.xx
