pixie_elfI've been puking my guts up since Tuesday, pretty much. Jose HAD a stomach bug, we thought he'd gotten over it and went over to watch him.
Well, when I saw Neurology, they gave me 2 medicines. They have NO procedure room where they are, so my nerve block has to wait until they're moved... Which will be in 5 weeks. If I'm lucky.
I reacted horribly to both medications. One, is the medication they use to make SURE you're suffering from cluster headaches.
If you have the other diseases that mimic clusters, it cures them. You immidiately get relief.
It made mine worse, and I wound up vomiting until I puked blood. Not really that big of a deal, but I felt pretty crappy.
I decided to wait to try the second one, Cardizem it's a Calcium channel blocker, used for high blood pressure, which I don't have. Mine runs low. Unless I'm HAVING a cluster. In that case, it runs what for most people would be considered 'normal'.
After 2 days of it I began to get dizzy and pass out.
So yeah, that went out the window too. We're now trying to get in touch with neurology to beg them to find one of the sister-hospitals of UTMB that CAN do a nerve block.
I don't really think I have much of a choice, at this point. I have to wait to get into pain management, I've got to wait until May 28th to find out if I'm chronic before they consider surgery. On top of that, the nerve block has to be done beforehand, to prove the surgery will even help me.
All and all, it's just a big pain in my fucking ass.
My whole family is starting to be SEVERELY effected by this. It's getting worse, and worse for them. :/
Oh, and now I have to work on Papa's laptop. Gina's fucked things up and is trying to blame Mom... I KNOW what Mom has been doing on that computer. Gina has been going to freebie sites and signing up for stuff, and playing games the laptop was NOT made for. Mom has gone on Myspace to look at our families pages. I've never had problems accessing myspace, or having it install spyware.
I think I know which one is the problem, seeing as those same games, keep crashing THIS computer.
