Return of the Cluster Headaches
Well, time for an update.
The cluster headaches are back with a vengeance due to a lot of stress from many different sources. The first attack was 2 weeks ago. It was so bad that I kept screaming for 2 minutes straight and a lot of the blood vessels in my face ruptured. It looked like I got into a bad fight. Then a couple days later, I'm on campus driving and I feel an attack coming on. Knowing I need to pull over before it gets bad, I look for somewhere to stop. During this, my driving was impaired because I turned left where it was prohibited and got pulled over by a cop. I passed out not long after. The cop called am ambulance to check me out. He still wrote me a ticket though. Fucker.
Then this week, on Tuesday, I had an attack during my Chinese class and nearly passed out again. My classmates called for an ambulance which rushed me to the hospital. I was released not long after. So, due to all the attacks, I rescheduled my upcoming appointment with my neurologist for the next day. My doctor basically upped my dosage sizes in my medication and prescribed a cannister of oxygen to me. =P
Pretty much whenever I feel one of the headaches come on, I use the oxygen because it's known to take away the headaches. It's still odd to have oxygen prescribed to you though. I'm also not to worry about college as much. That's now secondary priority.
Besides that, I've been ok. Things are going good with my film projects so there's at least that much.
