Hello everyone, it's been a bit too long since I've been here.
Kranix wants me to go to the doctor. I've been having some problems for a while but I don't go to the doctor because whenever I tried to seek help in the past I was blown off. In high school I went about migraine headaches and was told they were sinus headaches (when they weren't) because I was "too young" to have migraines (which makes no sense) and I was given medication that didn't work. Then I went about chronic back pain and was told it was because my back was out of shape (which didn't make sense, because I exercised regularly and my back was extremely well toned) and was told to work out and that that would fix it. And I went about asthma, which had caused me to collapse while exercising, and was told I probably didn't have asthma and had to listen to them explain the difference between asthma and being out of shape, only to then test as very firmly asthmatic with their machine. Still, I didn't go back. I don't like going to the doctor only to be told I am too young or too fat for my problems. Which is why I haven't truly seen a doctor in about 6 years.
But currently my rib cage hurts. Like, all the time. When there's pressure on it from an outside force it hurts so badly I have to move or beg the person to not touch me, depending on the circumstances. Also I get migraine headaches almost every day. Caffeine doesn't effect them. If I have the same amount every day I get a migraine, if I have more than usual I still end up with a migraine. If I have less than usual I still get a migraine. I am now drinking less caffeine consistently and I still get a migraine every day. If I take medicine it helps, but if I nap it doesn't go away. My migraines are accompanied by throbbing on both sides, nausea, sensitivity to movement, light, sound, and smell, aches, neck pain, and sometimes more. I also have joint pain, chronically, in my upper and lower back, knees, ankles, and fingers. Occasionally I have elbow, wrist, and hip stiffness and pain. And recently I've been feeling achy all over. Right now my thighs are absolutely killing me with aching crampy feeling.
And I really don't want to go to the doctor, because even Kranix has said it's probably all in my head, so that's probably what doctors would say too. At the same time he thinks I should go. I don't understand... and I don't want to just be told that I'm fat again.
