Taking 5 from the family 'Banquet.B.Q' to down anti-sick pills and pain killers! The never ending frustration cycle of nausea and headaches has continued to plague me, my family and baffle the doctors for 3 months. Over this time, we've had eye tests, failed those, got new prescrition lenses in hope of relief. The nausea and hedaches continued. Co2 emisions are normal in the house, the testers are normal. More and more and more tablets are being prescribed, beta blockers are the latest option. Pregnancy tests are negative. Menapause has been rulled out. There can only be one place else left to look! My heart sunk when the doctor told me what he plans on doing next. He says I have to have a CT scan to rule out a Blood clot that may have travelled from my leg to my brain, or it maybe a tumor.

Since that day 2 weeks ago, a million fears have gone through my mind. I never told no one because it would make it seem more real than it was already. My husband is a tower of strength and has kept me positive and laughing EVERYDAY.

We don't talk about it now unless I have to ask someone to go and fetch my tablets, the pain has been so bad before now that I can't even say the names of the tablets I want. These beta blockers have masked about 60% of the pain . To be honnest the nausea pissed me off more than the headaches, but thats completely under control now.

Today, I chose to write about it because i'm not afraid of what I don't know anymore. I've learned that clots can be sucessfully despersed with medication. Tumors have been removed sucessfully without too many side-effects. Today I feel like I can get through anything, this is just another challenge.

...Back to the 'Banquet.B.Q' (before they send out a search party)
