Face Ache!

Hiii - no new post this weekend for a few reasons, one of which is that I had that bad headache thing happen to me again (which, for the record, may have to do with grinding my teeth during my sleep. Or my head is going to explode shortly.)

So enjoy this old post for an explanation of the weird face pain. 

-------------------

So, as I wrote about last week, I had a headache the weekend before. What I didn’t blog about, though, was how it came back on Wednesday and lasted the next 4-5 days. It was mostly on the right side of my face/head (though it jumped to the left one night).

t’s also why I was less active in the blogger/twitter world, in case anyone noticed or missed me (doubtful).

  

On Thursday, I went to the minute clinic, and was diagnosed with either a migraine or a sinus infection or something more serious but less likely.  

I also get super woozy when we start talking about arteries or anything blood related and I almost passed out

She gave me antibiotics in case it is a weird sinus infection and sent me on my way. On Friday, my eyes were still aching and my head/neck hurt.  I saw Boyfriend.

I gave up on doctors after this experience 

I started to feel a little bit better Saturday/Sunday. The pain felt like it was coming from my neck more, so I’m thinking maybe I pulled it somehow very badly, because I googled and it looks like a neck muscle can cause pain all over one side of your head including your forehead and eye.

I’m considering going to a doctor. We’ll see.

Sigh.

Has this happened to anyone else? And before anyone comments with scary advice about how I’m having ministrokes  or tumors or aneurysms or any equally horrifying things, this is not accompanied by a fever or dizziness or blurred vision or nausea/vomiting or disorientation.

Thanks bunches.

Hangover Blues

Remember how I made fun of my cat last week for being hungover? Welp. I should have known better, because this was maybe my Sunday:

They're sunglasses, okay?!

My sister and a couple of friends came over on Saturday night and we drank and went out. We stayed out really late.

After a respectable six hours of sleep, I woke up not feeling great.

I spent a large part of the day flopping around my bed

March Madness, you guys.

Ok, I was pretty much directly quoting from an episode of Girls at this point.

I seem to have come down with a case of whinyitis. Does this happen to anyone else when you drink (you know, the monster hangover and/or the complaining)?

Doctor, Revisited: A Slightly Better Experience

So, after my head troubles last week, I decided maybe I should get a real doctor.  I went to one last year, but he sucked.

The last  one is an exaggeration BUT ALL THE OTHER ONES HAPPENED.  I get medical history, but medical history does not mean you get to be a nosy parker. Plus he said this and it made me stabby

Anyway, I went to a new doctor. She was...okay.

So yeah.  On the up side, she asked appropriate questions and wasn’t too nosy. On the down side, she wasn’t really listening to me. But I guess I’ll stick with her. I actually rarely get sick, but I need somewhere to go for  those rare time I do. The minute clinic didn’t quite do it for me. Win?

[Also, I just realized that A Beer for the Shower posted something similar about doctors last week. Is it doctor season or something?!? Anyway, I feel a little bit awkward not mentioning it, so check out their useless doctor post here.]

Grumble Headache Grumble
