I'm Alive
10 years ago
I've heard that some of you were worried about me, some even thought I was passed away. I am still alive, I am just still dealing with health problems. My last journal was posted in August 21st of this year, saying that I thought my problem was going away. It came right back after that. I still have severe headaches everyday, so I'm normally in a lot of pain and not up to chatting. This is why I haven't been on Skype in a long time.
I've been to the emergency room twice and a third time from my mom calling 911. Had too many doctors appointments to count, seen a few neurologists and neuro surgeons, I've even stayed in the hospital for a week for them to run tests on me. No one can figure out the problem. A tumor was discovered in the brain however, but they say it's not related to my pain. The recent neuro surgeon said I was an interesting patient, since he has never seen anything like this before. Not the tumor, but the severe pain along with where the tumor is and whatnot. Actually many of the doctors don't believe me as they've never heard of a headache going on for over 3 months straight.
So that's what has been going on with me. Not sure what they will do but they did talk about possible brain surgery to remove the tumor. Either that or radiation to try and shrink it. I have been given very strong pain medication and that helps a lot, as well as many other medications. It will take time, but I will be fine.
Oh if anyone was curious about the tumor, it is half an inch in size and said it is very likely that it is nothing dangerous. Very common for that kind to be benign. They still need to get a sample or something like that to make sure however.

Just keep trying and don't loose hope! A lot of the doctors just haven't seen this type of stuff, but it's the most incredibly real pain, an I'm sorry you have to experience that...
