not tonight, honey, i've got a headache

I haven't really felt up to blogging for a while... due to these darn headaches I've been having for a couple of weeks! Ugh. I had 2 scary episodes where my vision actually got distorted, and I saw jagged lines and stars (for over 20 minutes!), and then felt sick (headache, dizzy, weak) for the rest of the day. One happened while I was teaching, and the other a week later just while I was shopping. The whole thing's got me feeling anxious, which isn't helpful since it is probably triggered by feeling stressed out in the first place. I ended up calling my doctor and she had me see an ophthamologist. They both believe that I am experiencing something called "classic migraines with aura." Not fun. I am just supposed to take excederin when I feel them coming on and see if I can notice what is triggering them. Even though, I haven't had a "migraine" in a week, I am still having neck aches and headaches. Sigh. So, now I think I am going to try the chiropractic route to see if that helps. or yoga. or a chill pill :)
