been pretty much under the weather since the weekend. I've been suffering from some pretty severe headaches that have reduced me pretty much to mush. I went for an MRI Tuesday AM and by my evening appt with the Dr he had the results which showed nothing. I was so sure that it was sinus related. We discussed the headache problem probably as long as the continuing problem with my blood pressure. He thinks I may be suffering from "cluster" headaches and has referred me to a neurologist. I have to wait 3 weeks for an appointment but apparently the one doctor specializes in headaches. I haven't been able to work out at all since it seems to worsen the headaches. Even walking Otto when one of these is present is a real challenge. The Dr. gave me a prescription but it makes me groggy so it's fine for the evening but not so good for work. I'm pretty much cranky and feeling rather blue.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having such a problem with headaches. We mentioned at the chat last night that we hadn't heard from you in a while and hoped everything was OK. Let us know how it goes at the specialist.


Hugs,

Susan, I was wondering where you've been. So sorry to hear about the headaches. I've been lucky that my migraines have subsided since I went off the BC pill. I know how it can really wear you down and affect your daily life. Please know I'm thinking of you and wishing you well VERY soon! Many hugs, lisa
