My Body Has Forsaken Me, especially My HEAD!

Hello everyone! It has been awhile since I have been on the site. I have been having some issues lately. My Mother died in November 2013. That was a lot of stress. It seemed like my condition just started to act out like a 2yr old. Headaches, backaches, I can barely walk so bad it hurts, short-term memory. I have also noticed that when I feel pressure in my head, have a bad headache, my nose will run like a faucet. Sometimes, I think that it's bleeding it runs so.

I finally took the Diamox.. I'd rather have a colonoscopy than take that medicine. OMG! I know I have to get use to it but I can't do it. I almost lost my job due to that medicine. I see the neurosurgeon next week for the 1st time. Free clinic appointment..it was made 6 months ago.

I feel like a turtle in a shell. People just don't understand how you feel and what it feels like.

Hi,

I am so sorry for your loss…it is a loss that is indescribable …here for you if you need to talk…

OMG…DIAMOX is evil!!! I was in such a state while on that…it did help with the head pressure…but the side effect of deep lethargy and flat affect…it was awful.

You had decompression, right? If you did, when.

Let us know how you make out at the doctors.

MsTaurus, oh no, I’m so sorry about your mom. When I get stressed out my symptoms act out too- I like your analogy :)but you have really been through it- grieving and sadness is so hard on you. I will say a prayer for you and sending you “computer hugs.”

I am so glad you have an appointment coming up. Keep in touch so we know how are.
