I don't know if anyone is out there, but if you are, you've noticed I haven't blogged so much lately. I've been under a huge amount of stress from work, and it has developed into nasty, blinding headaches. I finally went to the doctor yesterday, and it was...odd. My doctor is a nut job, but I really like him. It's hard to explain, but he works for me. He started to examine different parts of my neck and the right side of my head. He touched one place, and I vomited all over his shiny
Dansko shoes. I then passed out. It was frightening. Apparently, I've stressed myself out so much that it is now causing me to have a physical reaction. He told me I couldn't go back to work until the 30
th, which I would have thought would stress me out more, but I'm relieved. I'm determined to use this time to truly relax and get better.
My doctor wanted to give me some choices for solutions to my problem, and I'm choosing to see a chiropractor and have massage therapy. I've never been to a chiropractor. I honestly never really understood how this could really work, so I never considered it as a treatment. My insurance covers it, so I thought, "What the hell do I have to lose? It's better than being on a bunch of drugs." If it will make the pain stop, then I'll go for it.
I went for my first visit today. My chiropractor looks exactly like an L.L. Bean model. My nut job doctor even called him eye candy. He's an attractive man, but I don't do L.L. Bean. I like tattoos and such, so I'm not into the whole khaki pants and sweater vest thing. I went in with a wee bit of a '
tude because I did work today and had to watch my stupid boss cry in a meeting. More on that at a later date. So, L.L. sat me down and asked me if I had ever been to a chiropractor. I said no. He asked if there was any reason why. I said yes. I don't really believe in the power of popping my neck. He looked at me strangely. I explained that I was more than willing to try it, and I would listen to him. I want it to work. So, I survived my first appointment. It's a bit alarming to hear your neck pop like that, but it didn't hurt. I go back 3x a week for two more weeks. He seems to think I'm fixable. Yea.
