More problems

I have been dianosed yesterday with cluster migraines. Oh boy this was a shock when it hit last night. I have had migraines in the past but this was scary.

My left eye swelled and pain spread down my face. I could not cope with light and felt terribly sick. I was quite scared. We phoned the doctors straight away and was given an appointment straigtht away at the out of hours service. We got there and the doctor was extremely kind.

I thought it may have been a link to Bells Palsy again something I have suffered with in the past.

When he told me it was a cluster migraine I was relieved it was nothing more serious. I have a lot of medication at home and luckily some of that will treat this condition.

I was relieved to be going back home. Poor Steve was up and down like a yo yo in the night looking after me as I was unable to pull the covers back onto the sofa where I am sleeping and during the night I ended up moaning in my sleep so he came down to comfort me.

I am glad it was nothing more serious.

I have had enough of being ill.

Best wishes

    Thank you for visiting my blog. I'm doing my favorite work avoidance thing of visiting lovely blogs and finding out what everyone is up to. Your blog is very inspiring and I wish you loads of luck.

    On the subject of horrible migraines - my heart goes out to you. Rachel Cooke in the Observer Woman wrote a really good piece about her years of migraines. I've included the link - it's well written and you might find it helpful. Keep writing and best of luck!
