Woohoo! I actually feel better!

The other day my eyes were hurting quite much, but I just felt very happy, since it's probably the first time in two years that my eyes have been hurting more than my head! It's kind of like my feet. During a trip to Amsterdam last year I suddenly realised that my flat foot hurt more than my bad foot, which also made me very happy.

Now I just struggle a little with constraining myself from jumping up and down and doing too much.

Of course I still can't watch tv, use a computer, go running or anything like that, but just not having headaches all the time makes it so much easier to enjoy life! Like some days ago I had a long conversation with my boyfriend about mathematics and I actually felt like I had access to my whole brain again, even though I wasn't thinking that fast. And I just feel this difference in the way I get tired.

Two weeks ago I had an EEG to rule out epilepsy and it made me worse, but only for something like two days. That's great progress!

I also had vertigo testing and they didn't find anything, but referred me to balance training at the hospital, which I really look forward to starting! I also liked that the doctor was clear with the fact that he is convinced that my vertigo problem is physical and not psycological, and that today's knowledge of vertigo is just not complete.

I hope and think that my progress towards getting rid of PCS have to do with my new medicine, which is supposed to improve my sleep quality and prevent migraines.

Seing how much better sleep matters I've been thinking about my sleep quality. My boyfriend has been telling me for years that I hold my breath while sleeping, does that mean that I have sleep apnea?Woohoo! I actually feel better!

I'm also thinking about doing something about my problems with going to bed at night and falling asleep. I've seen melatonin recommended both for people with Aspergers and people with PCS, so I wonder if I (being in both groups) should try to get a prescription?
