Quick update... I have a ct scan scheduled for thursday afternoon. I called on Monday when I hadn't heard from them yet, and they called back asking if I could be there in an hour. Mind you, I live just over an hour away, and to get there in an hour, I'd have had to leave 20 or 30 minutes before they called.
Anyway, I go in thursday.
I know it's not something I can just diagnose myself, but I have very strong feelings that it's an ACM. The Wellbutrin is currently fucking with my system. I'm queasy all the time, I can't sleep real well, and wake up feeling like I didn't sleep at all. My headaches haven't gone away. If anything, they've gotten worse. Sitting up at the computer makes my neck and shoulder ache from holding my head upright. That's new, and more than a little disconcerting.
The midrin I stopped taking. It was dulling the edge of my little headaches, but not getting rid of them. It made me sleepy, without being able to really sleep, and I was really queasy on it. I have very little faith that it would do any good when a big headache hits. If it can't get rid of a small throb, what's it going to do to the big bangs?
Also as a side note, my neck and back were hurting so much yesterday that I resorted to taking a vicoden again. Big mistake. Gave me the shakes, made me feel like I was going to toss my cookies every time I moved, and my face went numb. Course, my face has been going numb now and then anyway, so that might have been coincidence.
Lastly, since I've noticed the quick tiring in my neck muscles, I've also noticed it in my arms. It starts to hurt holding my arms up enough just to type, and they are half supported when I do that.
I'm torn on the ct scan. On one hand, I hope nothing shows up, because an ACM won't show up on one. If it doesn't, then I can get the MRI done to either reassure me it's not there, or to prove to me that I'm not nuts. On the other hand, I'm terrified that something WILL show up on it, like a tumor or something. We don't have cancer running in the family, but...
-sighs- So, that's why I haven't been around much as of late, and likely won't be still. I have to lay flat on the floor for about 30 minutes to combat the 10-15 of sitting at the computer.
