The story

I'm only going to speak of a specific medical issue I'm currently dealing with right now. Which probably isn't actually a good thing that I'm typing this on a digital device... But I sorta have an addiction to digital device use. Not specifically social media, but just the use the digital media.

Anyway...

According to the CA Emergency Room. It's normal for me to have ocular migraines. They said that the excruciating pain would be normal. But also, according to my Psychiatrist, I can only take Advil or Tylenol😭! Due to certain circumstances.

The symptoms I have when the ocular migraines happen are:

Complete and utter pain starting behind my left eye. It migrates to pain in my left nostril. Then the pain moves along to my upper left side jaw. The stickles down to my lower left side jaw. The it enjoys a nice right through the left side of my neck. And ends it's painful adventure through my left are down to my pink finger🤕!

Light and temperature play a factor too. If it's too bright... It hurts🔆. If the temperature is too cold... It hurts🌡️. And unfortunately for me... I run really hot... So these migraines make it difficult for me to adjust the temperature, since I haven't learned how to use my cousins thermostat thingy on the wall🫠. And all I need is the left side of my face, neck, and arm to be warm... Not my whole body😫!

At least the Nivea lotion I have is really good at drying my skin out, so I don't have to worry too much about the sweat🥵!

But that's not the point.

I went to the ER while I was in pain and unbalanced as well... And they said it's normal😒.

I went to a neurologist as well... All test came back normal😮‍💨.

I went for blood work... Guess what... Normal🥴.

So, according to many doctors opinions... Being in immense pain, and not being able to walk is... "Normal" for someone who doesn't experience this everyday😑.

Also, the cause of symptoms are based on how much I'm anxious about something, someone, or somewhere😥.

And my life right now is just all about that anxiousness🤪!!

And I wouldn't be responding to any story's/things I've written on this site for a while. Until I get better. I do like to respond to comments... So when I'm better... I'll respond to all the comments or questions later😌🙏🏻✨!!

Hey!


It sounds like you’re navigating through quite a challenging situation, and it's commendable you're sharing this rather personal journey. 😌 It seems your coping skills with the ocular migraines and associated anxiousness require significant resilience and patience. 🌟


Despite these intense symptoms, doctors' consistent reports that everything is normal would likely be frustrating, but it’s good they're ensuring there's nothing major going wrong, right? It’s understandable needing a break to focus on your health and prioritizing healing over engagement. 💪


Take care, and hope you experience relief soon!

Hey, really sounds like you're dealing with a tough time, but it’s awesome that you’re opening up about it. 🤗 Those migraines sound wicked painful, and not being able to get the meds you need must be rough!


On the bright side, it's good to hear that all those tests came back normal, so that's a win, right? 😉 Have hope that things will get better soon, and it’s great that you’re taking a pause to focus on yourself. 👍🏻 Hang in there, and hope you find some relief and the right solutions soon!
