Welcome to my health blog. I am a 29 year old living with a range of strange and confusing medical symptoms and conditions including various functional/neurological disorders, Endometriosis, PCOS, Raynaud's Disease and seronegative Hughes Syndrome. This blog is to document my struggle with doctors and the impact these illnesses have on my life. I hope that in some small way, my experiences will give others who are in similar situations some sort of strength or some form of comfort. Thanks for visiting!

Some may question my choice of title but if you are ill constantly and seem to always have your brain on pain and discomfort that's making your life very difficult, you begin to feel that perhaps you are a hypochondriac or what's worse, that other people see you as one. Whether you are or not, you still feel pain, sadness, and dispair which brings me to this quote from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling:

"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" - Albus Dumbledore

Pressure!

My head and neck feel like they are being inflated with a footpump! Its so horrible and uncomfortable. My brain feels like its going to pop! Its not a headache.. I can't really call it that So much pressure! If I yawn I get a electric shock in my face. Everything seems very bright. Got a few tingles down my arm. Occasionally feels like someones pouring hot liquid over the inside of my brain and theres this uncomfortable pulling in my neck.. Urgh!

My voice is gone... again. Longer term this time. I lost it for about a week and a half, got it back for one day.. ate an icecream that evening and it went again. Last two days the pressure is so much that it hurts me and makes me so dizzy just to attempt to speak. I can hum, but not speak. I hate this.. I'm getting scared that a repeat of January will happen. I hope not.
