Bad day today. Missed work because of it. I'm due to start my period, and I have noticed that ALWAYS triggers severe migraines. I've taken Fiorecet twice today, so I may not make much sense. I'm tired. Sleepy really. I hate these headaches.
My husband stayed home with me today and has pampered me. He's also forcing me to drink water. Ugh. I just want to lay my head down, drinking water doesn't fit into that. But being dehydrated will only make things worse too.
We've ordered a new mattress. I've never had a new mattress before. We ordered pillows too. They are the kind with cooling gel. I've read a bunch of stuff that says how good they are for headaches. Can't wait till it's all here so we can try.
Going to drink some water now.
A few of my favorite songs...
About Me
- Jessica (I've survived a brain tumor!)
- The weekend after Thanksgiving 2007, my back was killing me. I figured that it might be a kidney infection with the holiday season approaching, finals at school, and a busy time at work. I bounced around to a couple different doctors before ending up in the hospital on December 15. During that time period, my left side became numb. After an MRI, the doctor said something that I least expected to hear, "You have a lesion on your brain". On December 17, I underwent emergency surgery to remove a Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma (brain tumor) from my cerebellum. The tumor had fingers that had spread into my brain stem. With a lot of physical therapy, doctors visits, and family support - I can now drive again, walk again, and am working as a RN on the exact same neurology/orthopedic floor that I was once a patient on. I've come a long way, but there is still a ways to go...
