My legs are freakin killin me......

Aaaarrggghh.
I am sooo ready for winter to be over. I will now gladly suffer through the heat and humidity and the fatigue and the head sweating anytime I do any kind of physical exertion. This cold weather is just not TM friendly at all. I don't know why but today it seems worse than the last couple of days.
I normally am pretty good about being able to keep my mind off of it by keeping busy with things, but today I was in the basement working on a carving and the cold just crept in and the pain kept getting worse.
I came upstairs thinking that maybe I would warm up and the pain would subside....not.

I do not want to sound like a whiner, but today is not a good day. Time for a pain pill and see what happens.

I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday with my PC doc. I'm going to talk to him about pursuing the possibility of my "migraines" maybe actually being something connected with the Thalassemia or the Gilberts Syndrome that I have.
I've done a little research and there is some possibility that the symptoms that I get during the "migraines" could instead be attributed to one or the other of those.
It sure would make a lot more sense to me anyway, than it does to just all of a sudden start getting migraines that don't even fit the typical migraine description.

I'm such a medical mystery.....

Oh well....
again, a little music post....this time to post something from one our TM brethren....Hal Ketchum... yes, he has TM although you wouldn't know it...


till next time......

Sorry to have to tell you this, but Hal never had TM. That was a misdiagnosis. He has MS.

The headaches, Matt was having similar ones but once they put him on Nurontin for his burning feeling in his legs the migraines disapeared. They also told him to mass dose caffine when they hit.. They said people who get any sort of spinal swelling tend to get headaches and the caffine would help alot. We lived at starbucks for months. 400mg of Nurontin has seemed to kick the problem.
