Worst migriane ever and an update...warning: it's LONG!
6:48:00 PM Posted In Demagogues , Gavin , Medical/Health Edit This 0 Comments »I'm prone to migraines anyway. I've had them for the past 7 years. But the migraines I've had yesterday and today have put the past 7 years to shame. My eyes feel like they are on fire. My brain literally feels as if someone is trying to cut it in two pieces - in the slowest and most painful manner possible. I'm trying desperately to find a neurologist. The few who take my insurance either aren't accepting new patients or have made the decision to stop taking my insurance so they don't do me any good anyway. I took my Darvocet. My head still hurts. Only now my head feel disconnected from my body. So I still have the pain only it feels like it's not quite there - if that makes any sense at all.
Nick isn't taking this whole parenting, "let's all get along" thing seriously. He and his mother showed up at Gavin's therapy appt two weeks ago because Nick thought that he was going to take part in all of Gavin's therapy sessions from now on. What good does that do for Gavin?! Furthermore, I had told Gavin's therapist that if Nick got to come to a session or two with Gavin it would be after Nick and I had met face-to-face with the therapist. So I showed up with Rob and Gavin for Gavin's therapy appt and they were both there. I had to spend 20 mins with them while Gavin become increasingly more irrate and pissed off because they wouldn't leave. Finally I told them (literally) "could you please just get your booties back in your car and go home because Gavin is very upset and he needs this appt by himself. He needs his routine. And you being here is NOT part of his routine." They agreed. Nick said that he couldn't meet me in the morning because he "can't get up before 2pm, you know that Lizze". And his mother said "if you make him meet you in the morning, I'll have to wake him up and bring him here". I told her that he's supposed to be an adult and he should get himself up and to the appt because she cannot come with him. Well Gavin's therapist called today with the appt - May 23rd at 11 in the morning! lmao She said that if he wants to play dad then he needs to be an adult and get with the program. As of right now, the plan is that he needs to come up here by himself. He needs to get up, get ready, get in the car, drive up here alone, meet with me, and drive home alone. The therapist and I agree that even if psycho-mom drives him up here and drops him at the therapist's office for the appt, I won't meet with him. No one drives me to my appts. No one keeps me company everywhere I go. This is about being an adult and taking responsibility for life. I've been taking responsibility for both of us for 7 years. He claims he's sober - so it's time to start acting like the rest of us. Welcome to the real world. It sucks.
Gavin's psychiatrist is keeping a close eye on Gavin for signs of psychosis. He's torn between whether Gavin has had a psychotic break or his behaviors are a part of his Autism. I took Gavin to see his Developmental Neurologist today and he wants Gavin to have an EEG to rule out seizures as the cause of Gavin loosing time. The trick is that since Gavin doesn't sleep, they will have to give him something to make him sleep in order to get the test done. Just once I would like things to be simple!
