About this Blog
~Hi, my name is Courtney. I was a full time college student, starting to be a dancer, and used to work with kids part time, living on my own until my illness disabled me.
~I became sick in 2005. I created this blog in the summer of 2006 to record my "headache" diary and to see if anyone finds it interesting.
~12/2006 I lost my job then after, failed a year of college.
~2/2007 Dx Lyme Disease with Bartonella: prescribed 8 months of oral antibiotics. I'm not even sure if I ever had the Lyme Disease.
~11/2007 The doctor took me off medicines while I was still improving but not fully recovered.
~6/2008 Dx Chiari I Malformation by a neurosurgeon in Beverly Hills.
~8/2008 Decompression and Lamenectomy helped 80% of my problems.
~2/2009 Dx Hypermobility by an Orthopedic Surgeon/School Doc: Started PT, dancing, going to school and working.
~6/2009 Started working full time as an Infant-Toddler teacher, which requires lifting. Dancing part time, maybe I'll finish school eventually...lol

~2/2010 Sinus Surgery & complication: Severe Epistaxis: Became severely anemic.

Interesting description. I'm not the sick one in my family, but my husband who has been sick for years has often described feeling like he has the "grindies". And he says it's all through his body.
Yup, I relate.
same here....especially when there's bad weather out.
Yup been there too and found myself taking showers several times a day and nothing seemed to help take that feeling away. Just had to learn to live with it until it went away, though it does come back from time to time.

Yes..feel that way 9 times out of 10.
so now i know that i'm still infected! stupid doctor! ugh i knew it all along he would take me off meds too soon.
