leave my head alone

The past few weeks have been... interesting... headaches will not stop plaguing me. but they aren't always the same type or intensity of headaches. Sometimes they are the ones I've so, lovingly called "ice cream" headaches. They feel like I just ate a ton of ice cream really fast (as the name suggests). Unfortunately, they aren't affected by any of the normal 'tricks' that usually help when cold items are eaten too quickly..e.g warming the roof of the mouth w/ tongue or drinking warm beverages. Then I have the ones that try to crunch my entire head inwards...like its trapped in a vice. A newer headache-ie "joy" is the feeling that something is searing the tissues of various areas of my sinus cavities...usually it will burn terribly for several minutes, then end with an overall headache that just is pressure forcing outward from everywhere...the area that burned will ache for quite awhile.

The latest, and maybe most worrisome..depending on what's causing it...is that I've been feeling the weirdness that was normally caused by a lack of meds. There have been a few times when things when completely FUBAR with one of my pharmacies or I miscalculated and ran out before a refill or new script was written. The only way I can think to describe it is sorta like the feeling one gets when going over a bump too fast..that belly flip..the stomach dropping out when going down a roller coaster..Only, I feel that in my head. When I was off the the meds, the flip flop feeling in my mind was constant. Right now...it comes and goes. I've checked my pill containers to make sure they have all the right meds. Matt has double checked them. I'm at a loss as to why I'm feeling things I'm not supposed to feel unless my meds are out.

I have an appointment tomorrow. Maybe my neuro will have some ideas..
