I feel like my life has been in limbo for the past few months. When you're dealing with medical problems, or should I say, problem after problem after problem after problem, you can't seem to think much beyond just get well.
I went to the doctor again Thursday. We talked about my migraines, tonsil stone, and back pain. She really wants me to cut out a bunch of shit in my diet to see if it helps the migraines and abdominal pains. Although the abdominal pains aren't like they were, they do pop up and take my breath away, just not as often. The main things she wanted me cutting out were dairy, eggs, citrus, and caffeine. Let's just say, that's going to make getting back on the Low Amylose diet, uhm, not fucking fun. I've only had one migraine since last week, but I have had several headaches. I haven't decided what to do about the diet thing. It's hard enough being on the LA diet with dairy, eggs, and citrus, I can't imagine how tricky it's going to be if I have to cut those out, too.
She looked at the tonsil stone, but didn't want to do anything about it right now. She said to gargle salt water and take my antibiotic to see if it clears the infection. Hopefully it will fall out on it's own soon because it's driving me fucking nuts.
As far as the back pain, she thinks the majority of the pain is coming from a pulled muscle in my lower back. She gave me a muscle relaxer for it to see if it would help. I would like to not looking like a 60 year old with a hunch back by the end of every day.
With my head feeling a bit better, I've been able to do a little cleaning. Well, as much as I can with a hurt back. I even spent $50 on cleaning supplies at Walmart. Now, if only my body could work as fast as my head wants it to!
I've had a lot of things going on in my head lately, you know, in between the pounding. With my school stuff planned out, I have a few other things I would like to take care of this year. Things with my home life, things with my blog, things with my work, things with crafts, things with NYEBoy, and things with the house. Some things are big things, some things are important things, and others are just some things I think will be good for me to do. I'm going to spend some time this weekend writing things down, placing them on to lists, and making plans to accomplish each thing.

Have you talked to your doctor about meds for your migraine?
I can't imagine cutting all those things out of your diet. Especially when you're on such a limited diet already.
I hope you get to feeling better soon!
I hope your physical problems clear up soon.
