...another neurological problem
Aug 29 2008

I went to the doctor today about my recent bout of headaches and found out they were caused by something called Trigeminal Neuralgia.  Big words, LOL. 

Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition of recurring pain on one side of the face due to a malfunction of one or more of the three branches of the trigeminal nerve.   So basically a broken nerve is causing my never ending headache, YAY!! 

I'm just glad I know what's causing it - I usually get "we'll do a bunch of tests and see..." But my doc asked a bunch of questions, gave me an examination and told me what was wrong.  That's it.  I love my new family doctor!!  

But anyway, I have to take these pills for a few months and see if it works.  I have a LOT of neurological issues and they're adding up all the time.  I just added two more so far in 2008.  

Well that is all for now :)
