We come home to get the urine sample and my head goes to pounding so hard that it sends me into a panic attack. I was so scared because its never done it so fiercely before. Jessica takes me to the small hospital here in Jena. That was the worse mistake ever. They didn't know what to do. I was trying to explain about my injury but they didn't beileve me. It was humiliating. So needless to say three hours later we walk out of there with no answers.
The last week has been one of the most challenging times I think I have ever been through with my injury. Jessica was giving me a bath Sunday and my blood pressure spiked so high that my autonomic dsyerflrxia gave me the lovely gift of a pounding headache. This is a warning sign my body gives me telling me something is either hurting, rubbing, or binding me. These headaches are so painful it's like someone is drilling into your skull while you're awake and no anesthetic. Things only started getting worse from there. As I have told you guys in a previous post my feet has been fighting so bad here lately that they ripped off my toenail. I had to get it removed during therapy Tuesday so it would get hung on anything else and hurt even more. So Thursday we went to the neurologist to get my baclofen pump bumped up again. When the therapist tried to put me on the mat in long sitting my blood pressure done the same thing. We all rubbed it off saying it's because I haven't slept in 48 hours. Every time I'd lay back my blood pressure would give me one of the painful headaches. Three days go by without the ability to sleep because of these headaches so I know something is wrong. We go to the doctors and he ran blood work and done a culture on my urine. He gave me something to help me sleep and sent us on our way.
