So, I just had the second nerve-block shot for my head yesterday.
My experience between the two shots has been terrible.
Last week, a day after my first shot, my head was tender to touch and overall, more painful than before the shot. This and persistent nausea persisted for about 4 days.
Last night, I couldn’t sleep because I was freezing- but every time I woke up, I was covered with sweat. Sorry for the not-so-pretty image. Don’t dwell on it. It’s just like my body lost its ability to maintain temperature control.
Same sort of head pain and nausea, plus just overall exhausted by the lack of sleep.
I am very worried that I am not going in the right direction. One thing that people have hinted at is a potential thyroid problem.
Shout out to my blood relatives- any of you know of someone in the family with migraine or thyroid issues?
On a happier note, I found a snake in the house this morning. I think he’s an Eastern Worm Snake, but generally they are found in Southern Carolina. Apparently, NOT ANY MORE!! This is the third one I have come across (the others were outside, thankfully) which I think helped me NOT flip out as I saw it slither it’s 5 inch body across my tile floor.
Kinda cute, for a snake. Apparently they only grow up to 15 inches long and are harmless to humans.
I think he’s growing on me. Maybe Jared will let me keep him and call him Pinky. 😉
David has a condition called cluster headaches. It is currently incurable and treatments have been pretty much ineffective. I hope you don’t have that too. 🙁
I too was going to mention David’s headaches, which have been awful. I hope yours are more treatable. I have to tell you that I’m afraid in my opinion, no snakes are cute…
So sorry about your headaches. I did notice something that you said in your post…”I am very worried that I am not going in the right direction.” Listen to yourself! Have you ever thought about getting your hormone/vitamin levels checked?
About the snake…you are much braver than I am! You should have seen me when I saw a mouse run across our floor!
Keeping you in my prayers 🙂
Elisabeth,did you say if you had ever gone to a good chiropractor for your headaches. That has always relieved mine. My neck has been a problem for years.
