Hey comrades, a lot of you saw that post i made yesterday about my terrible headache. i was doing a lot better today, but out of a sudden the pain is back to a 9.8/10 and it’s spread to my face as well. i phoned my doctor a while ago and he said it was just one of my usual migraines, which makes sense based on the type and intensity of the pain but they have NEVER lasted this long, it’s literally been a little under 36 hours. what if it never goes away? What if its actually brain cancer?
Help me i cant stop crying, i hate to sound like such an attention-seeker, but please send virtual hugs as on top of it all im home alone and i dont have anyone to talk to :((
Thank you so much, i’ve called two doctors thus far and they both refused to prescribe me a scan bc i had a clear one in May :( i’ve really just been trying to survive honestly. i just finally managed to eat a nice dinner and it seems like its getting a bit better, gotta hold on to every bit of hope :/ 😔
It’s good it sounds like it’s getting better. If the pain does go away, but you’re still worried in, say... 1 week’s time, maybe give the doctors another try. It’s important to be calm and rational about our worries, but it’s also important to be firm with our doctors, just not too firm hahaha.
If you wait a bit, you’ll know you’re just not panicking because of pain and stress, and so will your doctors. And if you schedule a time to ask again in the future, you might not worry about it so much in the meantime.
I’ve spent a lot of time panicking, and I’ve always made it through ok :)
Anyway, I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better. Remember to drink lots and lots of water, and get as much sleep as you can. You’ll make it through this :af-heart:
