Unhappy body
I wasted my time and money at the podiatrist yesterday. Very frustrating. The x-rays look fine (duh--neuromas don't show on an x-ray) and he said the best they could do would be a cortisone shot. I asked about preventative stuff and he said sensible shoes (hardy har har). OK, that's fine, but what about the fact that I can't stand on the balls of my feet or dance barefoot? Um, sorry. No suggestions other than cortisone shots. Thanks, but no fucking thanks. My nana had a neuroma in her foot a couple years ago and the doctor suggested mega doses of vitamin A for a couple weeks. I'll be getting the details from her on that.
Oh, and I got another splitting migrane that started late afternoon yesterday and peaked around 7:30 p.m. The Cafergot didn't touch it. This wasn't the worst headache I've ever had, but it was the first time I've ever become nauseated from one. When I took out my contacts, I noticed that my nose and cheeks were bright red. That happened when I got the bad one in California back in May, too. Interesting.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
0verdrive was a lifesaver and poked at the pressure spots on my head and face for about 15 minutes so I could get just enough relief to fall asleep.
I'm still feeling a little heavy-headed today and I can't turn my head quickly or it starts to pound a bit. A couple people have mentioned the current weather fluctuations might bring on a migrane, which I hadn't considered. Joy. Another reason to live in the desert.
My nose is a bit red today, but I don't know if that's a residual effect or a harbinger.
