Another post

It's a little bit hard for me to write on here. The thing is, I have SO many thoughts going through my head on a daily basis, that it's hard to pick what to write about. So, my goal is to try to write once a day so that maybe it'll be easier to narrow down.

Topic on my mind right now? A massage.

I've been having pretty bad headaches for the last few months. In September, they'd gotten really unbearable, and I'd also started noticing some blurred vision and sensitivity to light. Perhaps I watch too much ER and Grey's Anatomy, but it kind of freaked me out. So, I made an appointment with my doctor, just to make sure it wasn't something more serious. And to find out how I might be able to combat them, because even 4 ibuprofen were not touching the pain (and I never take meds, so it wasn't like I'd built up a tolerance to them or something).

I went to the doctor, and he did an exam and said it wasn't anything scary like a tumor or anything. He knows my "life situation" and therefore knows the amount of stress I'm under and diagnosed me with stress headaches. He said that as soon as I noticed one coming on I should take 4 ibuprofen AND 2 tylenol at the same time. Wowza. He also said I need to get a massage once or twice a month. Umm, can I get a prescription for that? (Seriously, I've been told some insurances cover this. I doubt mine does but it is something I'm going to check into!)

I have a sweet friend that gave me a gift certificate for a 30 minute massage. I haven't had a chance to get it yet, but my headaches have been coming with more frequency again so I'm going to try to get that done next week. I'm a bit nervous! I've heard of toxins and stuff being released into your body if you haven't had a massage before (or in a long time). Is my face going to break out worse than it already is? Am I going to get a rash or sores on my body, or get sick? I guess I shall see!

I will have to update after I get my massage. I met the lady that will do it last week and she seemed really sweet. Hopefully it helps, and if it does, I really hope my insurance will cover more!!
