Well, I have not been on for 2 weeks and a few days because I had a frustrating and painful time. You see, I had a headache for this long, and it is the WORST pain I have ever felt. It hurt worse than a snowmobile accident I was in (I went over a 9 foot culvert on my dad's snowmobile), so after 4 days with the headache, I went to the doc's at night. Well, the doc thought that it was a migraine, so he gave me a shot of immatrex. I had a severe allergic reaction within 2 minutes of the shot, and the docs were really worried. I had hives and I felt like I was on fire. Well, I have never had a headache before, so the doc was concerned and told me that if it wasn't gone by the next day, then I would be hospitalized, have a CAT scan, and a spinal tap. When I woke up that next morning, I still had the headache, so I wound up in the hospital after the CAT scan didn't show any brain tumors or brain hermeraging (sp?). He took a spinal tap, and that should up clear too. The final conclusion is now that I had too much estrogen (sp?) (I was on birth control pills for health reasons) so now I am off of those, and on Ammatriptaline (sp?). It is better now, and I am finally able to get a little homework done, and come on PT for a little bit.
Sorry this post is so long!!! I'll close it now saying I hope that everyone has stayed healthy and safe for the past couple of weeks!!!

I'm sorry Steph... that sounds horrible. I'm glad the spinal tap and CAT scan came back clear though.
