True and right concepts of how that helps you fool your
brain, no matter what, to be HAPPY! But, I had another bad night last night… My
head awoke me once again, and again I administered my cervical collar and
caffeine in the form of coffee at 5:11 A.M., which appeared to help somewhat.
Interestingly enough, our darling canine pal, chooses to
sleep next to me whenever I am not as good as, let’s just say, I would like to
be and so he cuddles nearly nightly these days…
Two cups of java later my head seemed to be relenting, and
also with a fear of weakening of my neck muscles even more, made me test the
waters of going commando, I hope its okay to use that term when speaking of
nakedness while referring to, going without a cervical collar? LOL!
Any-who,
my neuro said it was a good idea to wear the collar when it happened, now there
are three ailments of mine that can be causing what I think is a really weird
anomaly of my too many chronic conditions, my cervical stenosis which causes
something called, ‘Cervicogenic Headache’, that can cause this issue, and
L’Hermittes sign, which occurs with MS and cervical stenosis and also TN, Trigeminal Neuralgia, which
is also quite common with MS, and even both my neuro and my ophthalmologist
thought I had those too… but really, who wants more? REALLY!
Below
are site that describe each fairly well in laymen’s terms I think, at least I
thought it was and I am NOT a medical person only an impatient patient. PS I go
to these sites to see if I can learn what to do to help myself on a holiday
weekend when my doctors are only available for emergencies and rightfully so!
Ask- A- Nurse lately has only said go to emergency, not that helpful, hmm?
To be honest, at these early hours in the morning when you
have been awoken out of sleep with a severe headache on the top of your head
you gotta know what’s causing it, hmm?
Most
would think the very worst, a tumor, and I giggle when I think of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop circa
1990, when he tells the noisy kids that they are giving him a head ache and one
of the children says “maybe it’s a tumor?” Or something like that.
Any-who, not so funny anymore, since too many have them, but
I know with all my cranial MRI’s yearly I don’t, as of this past February
anyway! LOL! I hope not anyway…
No, of course not, I have this problem before that and
since.
Worrying will give you a headache one expression goes… but
what if you already have one, HUH?
Too much thinking is not a bad thing, but can be… oh where
did I put my denial?
Let me redirect my thinking to others in need or better yet,
did you all notice how lovely the Jersey Shore is looking… with much to do
though… it all takes time...And the people in Moore OK, are handling another
horrendous tornado hit with dignity and grace…so many fascinating stories from
there of heroism.
On that much more positive note of regular people also
becoming heroes, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy
good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all those
overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
PS We watched the prequel, Star Trek 2009, last night,
apparently we had missed it, and it was pretty darn good. I seem to recall not
all the critics were so kind then and maybe that’s why we opted out… silly, to
listen to any one else’s opinion, better to form your own, hmm?
