Migraine Boy!!!

I had a little chat with a Neurologist last week and he said that my symptoms indicate that I may have Migraine. He prescribed some medication to prevent and relieve the pain the pain caused by Migraines and at the same time he ordered an Electroencephalogram (EEG) test be conducted just to be sure.

I had 22 electrodes pasted on my head last Tuesday to measure my brains electrical activity. It was actually uneventful except for the fact that the receptionist and nurses at that place where I had an EEG were all quite pretty. I actually thought to my self, what if I suddenly start singing “Ale nasa langit na ba ako? Mama kayo po ba si San Pedro? Ok lang sa akin kung ako’y deadbol na basta’t ikaw ang lagi kong kasama…”

People are really helpful and they have the most interesting theories as to the cause of my freaking headaches. Here are a few:

1. Pressure on some nerve on my head… My tita suggested using a different pillow.

2. Cancer or some kind of tumor… My friend actually said something like “that looks serious man”, and actually suggested I make up with people who I am not in good terms with. Duh!

3. Aneurysm… My cousin actually said that he had a friend who died of similar causes… Thanks! That helps!

4. Parasites… The guy who said this one is a Biology major, so it’s understandable.

5. Worms… from eating too much tuna sashimi… I will tolerate the pain but I will not give up Tuna sashimi!

Then again there is El who said “kulang ka lang sa climb… pahiram ng tent mo kung hindi ka sasama ha.”

Faced with one’s own mortality and/or the prospect of life lived in pain a person tends to become a bit introspective. But I don’t think I should loose my sense of humor just yet.
