I started this blog a year ago as some kind of therapy in an attempt to get over a love lost, so I don’t know if “happy anniversary” is appropriate. In that year I have gone through some big changes; I’m not the same person I was back then, and it’s a beautiful thing. I think that’s what I love most about life.
I’ll start with an update, seeing as how it’s been over a month since I last posted. For those of you that have known me for a while, you know that I’ve always had these terrible headaches. In high school my apparently heartless doctor told me I was imagining them. Well, I think I finally may have found some relief. After nearly a month of ER and doctor visits, I’ve been given some blood pressure medication that is supposed to stop the headaches. I’ve done a bunch of research, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I most likely have something called hemicrania continua (the doctor agrees but can’t make an official diagnosis). Essentially it’s a daily chronic headache and blood pressure meds have been proven to help prevent them. Hopefully it goes well; I’m so tired of missing class and work. I really just want to be able to do what I want without a nagging headache.
I feel like the conclusion of my headaches is a good conclusion to my blog. It’s like the end of a chapter. It has been over a year since the end of the last big chapter, and I’m more than ready to start a new one. I’m happy; I’m healthy; I’m starting a new adventure. Hopefully it’s one that doesn’t need a therapy blog.
