hmmm… i may have announced the travel blog thingy waayyyyyyyy too early. i haven’t done a thing with it.

too lazy i suppose?

well, not exactly.

i’ve been having intermittent mothers of headache the past few days. i even missed two days of work because of the nasty headaches. thus, i had the process of elimination going on to rid out possible causes. first off, went to see the doc. based on the symptoms i gave her, she told me it was because of rhinitis. she also informed me that i had to stop eating chocolates. those sweet treats are my treatment whenever i have a bad case of headache. apparently, it’s causing more pain than relieving it. since that visit i’ve been told to avoid chocolate, wine, and cheese. the doc prescribed citirizine, some anti-allergen/antihistamine medicine. took the meds only for two days because my officemates told me that i’m acting like i’m on some kind of uppers. bought another brand of med <still citirizine> and it sure cured the sneezing, the itchy nose, and other allergic reactions BUT it didn’t relieve the headache. so i stopped the med and went back to Norgesic, the tablet the doc gave for the pain. the tablet offered me temporary relief until its effect wore off and i had to pop another pill. after three days of incessant headaches, it was time to visit the optical shop and have my eyes checked. with an intense headache that transferred from my left temple to my right, i visited de los reyes optical. the attending doctor checked both eyes. she directed me to sit before a machine and examined my eyes. it was a weird machine as i would hear something pop immediately after she had an eye checked. then she  transferred me to another machine where i had to focus on an object while she adjusted something to create the illusion that the object’s distance changes. right after that, she took me to a room to read letters on the wall while she had me try different lenses. after determining the correct lenses, i chose a frame. this caused more headache as i had to shell out PhP3,500 for the glasses, which wasn’t part of my budget for the month. darn. i even got one of the cheapest frames. this had me wearing glasses the following day at work. wore it but the headache didn’t go away. on the other hand, my mother had resorted to going to quack doctors. she heard that there’s a lady in san fernando who can cure any sickness. off my mother went and returned with some oil. the oil is said to have healing powers. thus, my mother would rub oil on my temple <for the headaches/sinusitis> and on my belly <for my adenomyosis>. although i don’t believe much in it, i allowed my mother to have her way. to my mind, everything is worth a try. last october 24, i had my last headache. it was at that same time that my period which ran for almost 3 weeks ceased. so, probably my headaches were caused by much blood loss [i've a complicated beautiful uterus - let's just put it that way]. but who knows what really caused the headaches. i’m just happy that it’s been a week now that i’ve been headache and drug-free.

well, drug-free until october 31. explanation on the next post.
