"i want to kill myself"...

a bit dramatic I admit, but that's how I explained the pain in my head to my Doctor on Friday when she asked how bad it was...

see, in my last week of holidays I developed a headache - at times a shooting pain through the right side of my head, which when that went away, became a low grade but permanent headache...

somewhat kept at bay by a steady stream of nurofen - i have come to refer to them as smarties - this due to the frequency with which i pop them...

so i thought it might be plane travel, or sinus or the stress of coming home...but i have NO idea what is causing this and i am over it!

so i'm back to see her later this week - she took some blood to check for something called temporal arteritis (let's hope it isn't that) but i suspect the outcome is going to be that, like my mum, i will now start to be a regular at migraines :-(

no wonder it took me longer than usual to get over the jetlag, no wonder i have felt like a zombie for well over 2 weeks now...

so fingers crossed the codeine i will be taking tonight will knock this thing on it's head and my life as i know it will return...
