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...
