Was out of town this weekend BUT!

I had a headache to begin with and it cleared up for the most part when we got there. Then Sun. night it was like I was being stabbed with an ice pick in the left side of my head. It was around 10 or 11 I wasn't really tired either. So we vegged out and watched some TV I took all my migraine meds like a good girl following doctors orders and even half a pain pill which started to kick in about 30 minutes later to take the edge off. I was about half asleep by the time the 2nd episode of Housewives of New Jersey was halfway through lol.
Also while we were there I guess it was Monday morning I was pumping gas (or trying to) for Nikki and I was using my left hand (which used to be my strong hand and arm) and I couldn't even hold the stupid gas pump to pump gas I wasn't strong enough in my left hand UGH!!!!

BLAH!

Well the migraine is still lingering a bit, nothing like it was, just a dull BLAH in my head. I'm having a good deal of balance issues today too. My hand is having some bizarre pains and stiffness like in between those tendon thingys lol. I'm so technical! My neck hurts if I move my head too fast or the wrong way it cracks.
I so glad I'm seeing the chiropractor tomorrow!!!

So today I have a migraine. It started yesterday around 6pm. It seemed like it might go away for a little while there late this morning, but no such luck it's gotten worse. The right side of my head feels like it could implode. Fun stuff eh?
I feel a wee bit brain dead... just out of touch. I always get a migraine with my period. Last month the migraine lasted 13 days. This month I had a 1 day migraine. Now that my period has stopped for 2 days it's like the migraine just bounced right back at me. UGH!!!

The purpose of this blog

I'm just finding it hard to keep written track of my recent illnesses so I thought I'd start trying to keep track of everything on here. How I'm feeling etc. I get pretty bad migraines sometimes they last for days, earlier this month I had one that lasted for 13 days. I get weird stomach issues that I won't go into too much detail with lol.
I get this weird feeling of my head being like I don't know disconnected from myself. I have a mystery pain in my left arm that sometimes radiates down to my elbows or to my fingers. My left arm goes numb sometimes. I have white matter lesions on my brain. My neurologist does not think I need treatment at this time, but he also cannot say I do not have MS... gee thanks!
I have a horrible time falling asleep even with sleeping pills and my migraine meds that are supposed to knock me on my rear. Once I fall asleep I don't want to wake up. I can sleep for any given number of hours and still be totally exhausted the next day. So I need to I guess keep a diary of sorts of when what happens so here it is and I don't care who reads it either!
