Will there ever be an end? Nope.

So as you know I was scheduled to go to the ENT doctor and found out what has been causing my headaches.  I have TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder AKA-arthritis in my jaw).  I was excited that they found something (finally), but its not something that you can really fix.  I have to watch out for really chewy foods, don't chew gum, stuff like that. They aren't sure what is causing the dizziness so I have to go back for some more testing.

For the past few months I have had to deal with headaches and dizziness everyday.  Its hard.  Some days I don't feel like doing anything, not eating or drinking, nothing.  I feel like the headaches have taken over my life.  Then just to find out I will be struggling with it for my whole life, not very encouraging at all.  I know that God has sovereign control over my life.  I have to trust that everything is going to be ok.  Sure, I am going to be in pain, but lots of people have it worse than me.  I thank God that I am healthy and happy, for the most part (:

Till next time,

This should be fun...

As some of you know I have been having problems with my head.  No, not mental issues.  I have been having really bad headaches and dizziness everyday since May.  I have been to the eye doctor, and to my regular doctor.  I have had blood drawn, and a CT Scan to see if they could find anything.  Luckily everything is A.OK!  But my head is still having problems, so I am going to see my ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) doctor this Monday, which is quit funny because I haven't seen him in 4 years, the last time I saw him I was 13 and getting my tonsils taken out!  So maybe this time I will get answers as to why my head hurts everyday?  This should be fun...

Keeping you updated...
