I'm already scheduled for a neurologist...the appointment was made June 23, and due to the fact that I'm on state health insurance (well this is what I think,) my appointment isnt until January 9. So..6 1/2 month wait. Figures.
But anyway...I've already had one CT scan, June 26, and it came back "inconclusive." Anyway, my head...I still have sharp pains, heavy dizziness and several times this week, one side of my face has gone numb and I couldn't see out of the eye that was on the side of my face that was numb. Sometimes I'll get dizzy and there will be sharp pains running through my head and I'll fall out and wake up 15 minutes - 2 hours or more later....
The most I could do is go to ER...which Im seriously trying to avoid because my parents dont have a running vehicle anymore. We have a car but its fucked and theres no way we can afford to fix it right now. So...I dont want to go downtown in an ambulance to sit in the ER for 5-7 hours, take 2 more hours to have them do whatever they gotta do then walk home.

I don't think it's anything a regular medication can help because Ive taken acetametophen several times already, and either it makes it worse or just does nothing at all.
Its 3:07 now and the last time the sharp pains happened was about an hour and a half ago.
When this start happening months ago, itd be just every few days that itd happen. now its at least 5 times/day.
Does anyone have an idea of what I could do that might make the pain easier to deal with? It happened Friday while I was at my sisters and it caused me to double over...except holding my face instead of my abdomen (doubling over means bending over with abdominal pain.) it happened and bam.
also...weird as it sounds to ask...but what could it be? ive been told that theres a possiblity im either having strokes or seizures...im just not sure. and apparently with the 'inconclusive' CT scan result the doctors aren't either.
:whoops:
