one year anniversary
this coming week is my one-year anniversary of my struggle with NDPH. although my case is not as severe as many other people with the same disease, i am feeling a little hopeless at the prospect of facing the rest of my life with headaches every day. about a year ago, i would not have even considered myself a particularly headache-prone person. but now i can hardly imagine living without the constant threat of headaches -- what will my headache allow me to do today, what will it stop me from doing? am i going to have enough energy to get through the school day, or even get out of bed?
my meds have been helping a lot, although they make me rather stupid and have severely impaired my already poor memory. i am not in unbearable pain every day; i have bad headaches only a few times a month, now. i am able to live with this disease. but i don't want to have to.
