Migraines suck!

[evil_dwagon]

Well, an update of sorts. My burn is healing nicely, I'm still employed and reaching the one year mark, and my migraines were hellish this summer. I believe they're linked to air pressure changes of approaching storms. I had one within the past few weeks, and I found that I become somewhat of a tormented artist when they strike. When I say that

As a (mumble)-year migraine sufferer, I feel moved to share with you some information received via my new-to-me neurologist:

Apparently recent findings have linked migraine with having a hole in one's heart. (The physical kind, not the relationship sort, that is.) In many cases, fix the heart, and the migraines ease. Worth asking after, perhaps? (Currently I am the subject of such investigations, myself.)

Huh... interesting. For me, that would also fit the profile of getting extremely easily winded, easily tired, taking a long while to recover from physical exertion...

Echocardiography is marvellous these days! Yesterday morning, I was lying there watching realtime images of my heart beating, with details of all four valves. They even have a filter they can drop across the image that gives Doppler -- they can distinguish bloodflow toward and away from the sensor, and tint it red/blue for easy analysis. The point being: they can tell an awful lot non-invasively these days.

Is it covered by Medicare? :P

I reached my one year mark as a librarian last month.

I wish there was a way I could just happen upon the money for my A+. I'm holding off until I get to the point that I would -need- the certification. For now, I'm a librarian and will stay in that position for another two years at least.

For baroreceptor issues with my sinuses, I find that gently scritching my head helps a lot.
