in view of the fact that my last pregnancy a few being ago, i have been suffering from frequent migranes. i started taking blood pressure meds last year and that has helped significantly. my headaches are much less frequent, but when i do get them, they are very intense. they start with a flashing light in my left eye that intensifies until 80% of my vision is occluded. then i get a pain down my right jaw, much like a toothache. after that comes a pain on the right side of my head like i’m being stabbed. then the pain diminishes in intensity and spreads through my entire head. i sometimes have nausea and light and sound sensitivity, but not permanently. these headaches last for 3 to 6 days. i used to spend about half the month in this shape up.
so about a year ago, when i started having reproducable pain and tenderness behind my eyes, i just figured it was part of the whole migrane drama. but, about 3 weeks ago i noticed a change in my vision. i’m having a lot of distress seeing. in view of the fact that until now, my vision has been a stupendous 20/15, i’m really concerned. a few days ago i started reading about this pain i have and establish out it is called optic neuritis. apparently, most everyone experiences it as some point during their life due to a virus. but when it lasts more than 2 or 3 weeks, it can cause permanent hurt. all i can say is EEK! i can’t believe i’ve let this go on for so long.
i’m not one to complain about aches and pains and i often let things get out of control before i see the doc. the last time it nearly killed me. i finished up being heliported to Camden and had to be on a ventilator for over a week. i’ve got to get to the eye doctor pronto. it would be just my luck if i went blind right after i finally got an awesome camera.

I’ve been browsing Locatei (http://www.flickr.com/photos/locatei/)’s sets and I am so absolutely amazed. Incredible pictures, incredible human being, incredible work. I saw that she had done a "what’s in your bag today" thing and so I chose to do it too.
The PMS monster is in full blast and I can’t shake off my weird, shitty mood. I had a very weird panic attack last night and was very lucky that my girlfriend was there to help me cool down. I have this problem where… I treat my problems like open applications. Instead of just doing what needs to be done in each, one by one, I tile the windows and get freaked out because there are way too many things… I’m a work in progress. But hey at smallest amount it’s spring in a few days?
