Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.

If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.

rambling about migraines

What happened yesterday made me angry enough that I realized I need to take up for myself medically and get to the bottom of whatever this is. At one time last year, I thought it was basilar migraine. I read last night that dizziness was associated with basilar migraine. If that's what this is, then I have some educating to do and I need to be able to do that. If it's something else, then I need to know so that I can ride it out and not hit the panic button every time I forget something significant or need assistance that isn't normal for me. I need to know how to determine what's important enough to go to the ER and how to make the staff do their real jobs. And if there are meds that can help me without serious side effects, I need to be open to taking them, maybe in addition to the vitamin stuff.

God is using all of this migraine stuff to teach me so many things. I wasn't afraid at the hospital at all. Actually, I had music in my head the whole time, and I felt Him near me. He is teaching me to draw near to Him at all times, even in the midst of my confusion and emotion, and He is teaching me to trust Him for every need of mine because He is rich and supplies all that I need. He is teaching me to boast about what makes me weak because it is a place where His strength is poured into me.
