Today, during the longest work shift ever, I lost my internal brain filter again (due to wariness and fatigue). I told people embarrassing stories about myself. I got sarcastic with old men customers. I hugged my mom and called her Mommy in front of everyone when she came to the store for sterno and shrimps. And then...It happened. It started happening right after lunch and It didn't stop until after I came home and took a nap. It was a huge ass Migraine.
I don't know if any of you have ever had a Migraine. But let me just tell you...boy howdy are The Migraines unpleasant. I thwarted it semi-effectively with about five ibuprofens and a Coke. This stopped the pain but the disorientation, dizziness, light sensitivity and audio sensitivity remained. I almost fell down twice while standing still. Several customers laughed at me. One of my co-workers even offered to hug me--which is a shock because I'm a huge bitch at work usually. Then another co-worker suggested that I see a neurologist. She thinks I have a brain tumor.
So, now to add to my stress levels...I'm pretty much positive that I have a brain tumor. Maybe I should have paid that extra 15 dollars at the eye doctor for the tumor scan. But I've always been afraid that the scanners they use to find tumors actually cause them...so I avoid them at all costs. (This is precisely why I have never had a breast scan*). But I will however, stand directly next to the microwave when it's on? Anyway...does anyone have a good neurologist they could recommend? K, Thanks!
*I think my filter is still missing.
