Thanks for the replies. I was seeing a psychologist within a rehab medicine clinic every two weeks for biofeedback and relaxation techniques. She then referred me to a chronic pain group this summer. I don't feel like I need a chronic pain group. I went to a "fair" last week where there were lots of rides, lights, sounds. I couldn't go to work the next day because I had such a headache. I didn't sleep at all the night of the fair. I was wide awake and I think overstimulated. Why is this stuff happening? We have a family vacation planned this summer for Utah and the kids are really looking forward to the mountain slides and the zip lines down the ski slopes. I can't even imagine doing something like this, but having two active kids and having once been active is really hard for me. Do I try things and then suffer the rest of the week or do I wait until the last day and it doesn't affect me and I have wasted the whole week? My neurologist is seeing me because of a seizure disorder, not a head injury. When I call about questions, her nurse tells me to take ibuprofen and the headache will go away in the few days. I feel there is something "wrong" with the right side of my brain and I'm not being heard by anyone. I have just recently (within the last couple of weeks) noticed that I lose my balance to the left quite frequently and when I walk I tend to walk to the left. I feel like I'm at my wits end.
