the pain the pain pt3

Well, saw my PCP on Tuesday, after being dizzy enough upon waking that I about fell on my face, and was bumping into walls until late morning, along w/ a persistent low-grade headache in the same general area as the acute pain from last week/weekend.

Could be "sex headaches" (she had to double check; yes, it's a real condition); but could also be an indicator of something else. My BP was fine (well within my normal range, which is on the low end of the normal spectrum).

So, some blood drawn to check for Thyroid & Anemia (slim, but doesn't hurt), and I'm off on Thursday am to get a CT scan & then a visit to a neurologist.

What's most worrisome to me & Dr, is that the onset has been sudden, specific location, and the addition of the dizziness & persistent headache.

Will keep ya'll advised :p

And my parents were amused by the "they're cool" comments - and say tyvm.

Meep... and here was me really hoping you wouldn't be in any more pain after that incident!

Hope the test results turn out good and that it's nothing serious!

*hugs*

I sincerely hope it's nothing, for your sake.

Currently dealing with a close friend with a microbleed in her brain - DIZZY is NOT GOOD! *hugs* You get better, hope very much that it's nothing major.

Sorry. I hope things get better. Yes, sex headaches exist and they are a bitch sometimes. Sort of a "Wow! that was amazing! Shit! My head feels like it is spliting open! Kill me now."

Keep us posted.
