I'm about ready to go to bed, considering it's running well near 3 AM. I'm just a little bothered, and I know that if I don't get it out in the open, it'll plague me all night and I won't sleep.
I've been having some episodes with headaches lately. Daddy says that out of the past 7 days, I've reported bad headaches at least 4 of them. These are the bad ones that come with the nausea and dizziness, too, not just your normal, run-of-the-mill headaches. These are headaches that typically linger at about a 6 or better on my 1 to 10 scale.
(Even as we speak, I'm brewing a 7.)
Daddy says that he's a little bit worried about this, because these constant headaches are by no means normal. He says that this could be red flags to other, more worse conditions that are currently hiding dormant. He tells me that if they continue, he'll want me to go to a doctor.
I'm not sure what to think on this issue. Migraines run in our family (both my sisters, my niece, and Daddy have them), yet my migraines are only once every 4 months. I was in a nasty car accident a few years back in which I suffered an awful concussion, but my headaches from it happen once every few weeks. These headaches just seem to come out of nowhere, for no reason, and linger for 18 to 20 hours at a stretch. I wasn't really thinking about it all that much until Daddy voiced his concern.
My immune system is not as strong as everyone else's. I get bronchitis once a year, and it's always very bad and stays with me for 2 months. I get colds and sinus problems all the time. If it involves my respiratory system, odds are, I'll catch it. And ever since that surgery back in May...
...Maybe I should take these headaches seriously.
Anyway, my head feels like it's swimming, and it's hard to keep this typing up. So...
Yeah, I just wrote this to get it off my chest. Sorry if it's a waste of space.
