My doctor moved, so I had no primary care doctor and couldn't get in with any doctor this morning. They all told me to go to the ER. So, I spent 5 long hours there and was so elated to hear my bloodwork came back showing I didn't have that, and even the doctor was surprised. He thinks the swollen artery is from the constant headaches and my very messed up neck. I have new meds to take and hoping I can break the cycle of the headaches and feel good again some day soon. Thanks for your prayers! You all make me feel so special! |
Connie, this must have been frightening for you! I'm very happy that it wasn't termporal arteritis. Praying the meds give your head and neck relief soon.
