Time for a quick update!
It’s been eighteen months since I started this thread, and two years since I first started battling this bizarre sensation in my head. It’s been a rollercoaster—some days feel totally normal, while other weeks I’m just overwhelmed by tears.
Basically, over these past two years, I’ve seen neurologists and run every test imaginable (CT scans, EEGs, Dopplers, EKGs, spinal imaging, neck and lung scans), plus visited eye doctors, tried acupuncture, homeopathy, and even saw a psychiatrist... and still, absolutely NOTHING!
My psychiatrist prescribed some Xanax, which helps a tiny bit, but it’s nowhere near making me feel whole again.
Since everyone kept insisting this was all tied to losing my mother—and I was stuck in such a dark headspace—my husband and I decided it was time to try for our second child.
Now, I am eight months pregnant!
Anyway, I stopped taking the Xanax... but since I quit (because of the pregnancy), I’ve been dealing with intense pain on the right side of my head.
For the last two months, I’ve felt it EVERY single day! A little warmth helps, like wrapping that part of my head in a scarf or something.
So, there you have it... nobody has helped me or provided a single diagnosis.
How has everyone else been doing during this time? Did anyone actually find a way to help themselves?
Things are really tough right now because this headache has been constant for so long, and I can't go anywhere for testing since I'm not allowed to undergo certain procedures during pregnancy.
