Mood:  don't ask

Okay, this is just a quick update.  I had my appointment earlier today.  Everything mostly looks good.  He did a full physical & all the other stuff that you have to have done when you move.  Basically I'm completely healthy, except for the headaches still!!  I had one last night that was so bad I almost went to the ER.  We discussed it possibly (more likly probably) being from allergies - the pollen is forming little yellow puddles around here everywhere and yet again our car is no longer brown, but yellow!  So he not only bumped up my vaso-diolator (spelling?  It's the medicine that diolates my blood vessels so the blood will pump through the veins/arteries in my brain {and technically everywhere else in my body, but focuses on the brain}), but also bumped up my allergy meds.  I'm taking them as needed and boy do I need them today!!  Yesterday would have been nice too!  According to all the MRIs and CT scans and what not, the problem was that my blood vessels in the noggin aren't big enough to allow sufficient blood though, so it's getting backed up and creating pressure in the brain, causing the migrains.  The little blue pill that I now take 2-3 of twice a day is helping with that.  The allergy meds is keeping my nose and throat clear of build up, which aparently gives "allergy headaches"...  When I get a headache, it's not like a normal one, its massive.  Last night I could barely see and even simple English was beyond me!  I couldn't even remember the word Coke (obviously Coca-Cola - just for clarification incase law enforcement reads this!!) and that's something that I can't live with out!!  lol 

So, other than the headaches, I perfectly healthy he said.  My blood work came back great, even my iron levels are up!  I asked him about the amount of Coke that I drink, and while he did say that as a dr. he was required to tell me to tone it down a little, or at least mix in some water, he can see no negative impacts on my body!  I asked about the mood swings, and he did say that he could give me something for that, but it could also be cause by the lack of blood flow to the brain (or the forced blood flow), so if the mood swings are still bad after we get the migranes under control, we'll talk about it - or I will with another doc.  I think it's just because I have 3 small children who drive me up the wall!  lol  But that's my non-medical opinion!

Anyway, Blake and I are going to go play Dominos while we wait for Jake to get home with a movie.  I trusted him to pick up 2 good ones, so we'll see what he brings home!  I'll blog more later!
