Bad Bad Bad

Crap, I don't even know where to begin or what I should say at this time.  Should I be vague or cut right to the point?  Since I don't really know exactly what's going on, a certain level of vagueness is in order I suppose.  Well...shit, I don't even know what to think.  My mind continues to think of the worst case scenario but I know that that is probably not the case.  I hope that is not the case.  It's my brother.  He's been having terrible terrible headaches.  I've never seen anything like it.  Like in tears.  We brought him to Uconn medical center last week and they gave him some pain stuff.  I saw a business card for a neurologist and some other doctors on his bureau.  This morning he left early to go get blood work done.  I'm pretty much worried to the point of becoming ill.  Nobody is comfortable talking about it and I've been left pretty much in the dark...well, I suppose nobody really knows what the deal is until the tests are done anyways, right?  I guess the best case scenario is migrains or something.  I don't even want to put my worst fears into writing.

My thoughts are with you man.

If it's any consolation, my ex-gf's mother has had a similar problem her whole life. Once every month or so, she'd get a spell of migraines that literally would make her throw up or cry or both, many times she was incoherent. The doctors told her it was hereditary. She went for cat scans, ex-rays, alternative medicines, nothing helped, but then again, there were no malignant tumors or anything like that.

I'm hoping it is just migraines.  Really hoping for that, although even if it is, it still sucks to see him like that.

I had a cousin who had horrifying headaches like that...and they weren't sure what it was...and she went for test after test and they couldn't figure out what it was...turns out she had celiac's disease...meaning: she's alergic to wheat!

no more wheat...no more headaches...

so it doesn't have to be the worst possible diagnosis...it could be something as simple as a dietary alergies.

Keep us posted...

I text messaged him about an hour ago to see how everything went.  He'll get the results when he goes back on the 24th.  I hope it is something as easily treatable as your cousin's experience.

Keep good thoughts about it and don't assume the worst.  There is a lot to be said for making dietary changes as BL said up there.
