Today's Medical Update
Jan. 23rd, 2009 01:27 pmWent to doc yesterday. Was asked to come back today to do tests. Got drawn, quartered, chunked, and smothered. Have a course of medicine to try to knock down the pain, and a plan for other investigations if that doesn't work. First round was injected, and the rest is pill form. Lovely.
The initial discussion was on what size drill bit to use on my skull. No, really -- there was a consideration on a biopsy on the 'structure' in the back of my brain that people said wasn't a worry six years ago. If the meds don't work, I get to have my head opened so someone can jab crap in there. Cause THAT'LL help...
But, they decided this was a 'cyclic migraine with recurring trigger', and I need to keep a record of what I'm eating and drinking, what environmental chemicals I experience (like acetones), my sleep schedule, and so on. So.... If the meds work, I'm going to not do that, because I'm lazy. If they don't, I'll start it up and worry about how many bits they'll break trying to make it through the neutronium skull plating I have.
The worry is based on a relative that died from brain cancer. That makes them want to rule out any weird stuff causing the pain. And, I don't blame them. But, hearing people talk about cutting my skull has put me in a bit of a mood.
Meds -- mondo pain killer, and a muscle relaxer. Should make games night quite the event.
