Basically, what happens is that I get an extreme powerful headache right above the left side of my left eye. I normally describe it as a spike being driving in to my head. The headache itself last only a few seconds, but afterwords I am extreme disoriented, lightheaded, and feel like all of the energy is drained out of me.  The disorientation, which often includes a little memory loss, is always temporary and normally clears in just a few minutes and any lost memory comes back soon after that. The lightheadedness lasts can last longer maybe even a few hours and the lack of energy can last the rest of the day. Sometimes, I can feel them coming on with a slight lightheadedness just before I have them, but most of the time the come one without an notice. I have also never had one while drive or doing a complex task.

While I have been having the mini-headaches for along time, they have not been bad for a few years. In the past I would have them several times a week or even a day and they were at an extreme level, but for the last few years they had dropped not only in quantity but also level of severeness.   In fact I don’t think I have had one in months and the last ones I had were very mild with pain, no real disorientation.

Sadly though, the one I had today was really bad by far the worse I have had in many years. I was at grocery store in the self check out line and had just finished scanning everything when I had the headache. The pain was so bad that I stumbled a little stepping back several feet, but like the others only lasted a few seconds. The disorientation though also real bad, I could not remember why I was at the store, I could not remember my pin for the debit card to pay.

I have no idea on how long I was standing at the register, but it was long enough that the sale timed out and I had to start over when my head cleared a little. However, I am still feeling a little light headed, have no energy, and I have been home for about 45 minutes. I really need to find out what this is!!!

Wow this guy was good, he was able to do an enhanced extraction and had it out in no time!!!

While he has only done a quick look, at this point he think that he will be able to remove do the surgical extraction using only the local. Wow is my mouth getting numb quick.

On a sidenote I really loved this chair. It was the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in. I would replace my bed with it if I could.

Well my pain meds are really starting to kick in now and I am becoming very tired and my speech is a little off. Which apparently is very noticeable, because I just had a guy who did not have a seat say to me “you fucking drunk why don’t you go sleep it off some where else.”

Okay guy I am sorry you don’t have a seat, but I was not asleep and I don’t even drink. Maybe if you were not an hour late and maybe you should live up to your responsibilities and you would not have been here in the first place.

Well at least I hope it is the meds, because the pain as not got any less at this point.
