Soo my edakes were thought to be from hydrocephalus so a shunt was installed to drain excess cerebro spinal fluid
No real improvement in edakes so migrainous edakes were suspected along with rebound edakes
Then I was referred to a private neurologist who agreed with me that chomping poppy juice pills is no good and hearing me describe my edakes decided to try occipital nerve block*
No poppy juice since and only rare need of painkillers for edakes
I am now getting it three monthly and it has changed my life for the better
The shunt is working so my brain is not swimming any more and lack of taking painkillers means that when I need em they work
*It’s the done thing to have health insurance here and folk who really cannot afford it are covered by a medical card
I have both as Mr Wells is determined I should have the best care possible
I would stress that I can only tell of MY experience
Saw a Noo Rheumatology Nurse Practitioner who was lovely
She feels, as do I, that the beast is active ATM, so has ordered more tests with a view to adding to the medication . I had a chest x-ray after I had seen her, & will have another blood test on Thursday after I have been to Podiatry
Good that the NP was lovely. Not at all good that the beast is active.
While awaitinoo yer noo medicaments try this pitcher, wot I mixed up special.

Brrrrr. Cold today … albeit quite bright & no rain threatened, unless much of the Emprire.
So I have put the fire on for the first time since April. Possibly even March. It needed the pilot to be coaxed into being.
In other news, we won innour Quiz last night … & I slept the good sleep in celebration of that.
Plus, I agreed the final details on tbe sale of my mum’s house. This is not going to make me rich, but it’s a closing chapter & quite a relief overall. I always dreamt of having a second home, just not it being a semi-detached former council house in Bolton.
