Alex, I'll take a normal migraine for 700!
I have lived with migraines since I was 15 years old. It has just become a part of life. I'm talking debilitating, can't move, in the bed migraines.
Last year I had been 15 weeks with a migraine when I finally got into the BEST neurologist. She began to find issues I never knew I had and I have began having relief for the first time. I have cervical neuralgia that I am treated for every three months with nerve block injections that have mostly stopped those type headaches.
So for the past year I have had increased cerebral fluid. Where in the world, what in the world? So, I have had two lumbar punctures and had immediate relief, boom, headache gone! Whoop Whoop!! Then this past time within four weeks I was back at the neurologist and bam, fluid back! Discouraged, I would be dishonest if I said I wasn't. Maybe confused was more accurate.
Off we go for an MRI/Venogram. Pretty fast, less that 15 minutes and I'm out the door. Within 45 minutes I get the call from the Dr's office that says, the Dr saw something in your test, Can you be at her office at 8:15 in the morning? I wanted to say, UM....can I just come back now.....tonight?
So we get there, back in the office, she says, you have a blood clot in the vein in the back of your head where the fluid drains. I smile, take it in stride, ask what the next step is, get my prescriptions for two blood thinners and we head to the pharmacy then home. Yes, I am giving my self one shot a day for 14 days. Then two days later it hits me, I'm walking around with a blood clot in my head.
Hum, She did say I could have a stroke, but I know I am ready if God says its time. I know the comforting words, I know the scripture. I am at peace with everything on that front. Really I am.
I guess Colossians 3:15 says what I'm feeling best "Let the Peace that comes from Christ rule in your Hearts"
I will take the pills, I will give myself the shots, and will get the extra meds she called about today from more blood work because I want more time with these fun faces. That is my fear! My fear is not being here for them or with them! You see I love this bunch with every bit of my being! I don't want to miss one moment, One second! One thing from this point on with this bunch! Blood clot or not!
Because isn't this what life is all about. Sharing time with family, friends and making sure you share the love of Christ with all you come in contact with daily! Oh my loves, if you are reading this and you don't have that peace, let me tell you how you can have it! Do not waste a day!
