I've been anxiously awaiting today for several weeks now. It's the mix of fear and excitement that can't be explained. Because today I met with my new endo and my old CDE (from the pediatric days). And today, I'm completely bittersweet about this disease.

 

The endo was quite amazing. She's fairly young, seems knowledgeable, but most importantly we seemed to be pretty much on the same page with this whole thing. Not only was she in the room before the nurse finished the finger prick, blood pressure, and weight checks, but she spent over an hour with me personally.

I've always been prone to nasty headaches. Ever since I can remember, I've gotten migraines and headaches that just would not go away. In high school, I had an MRI and several other tests done to rule out any conditions that might be causing them. I had another MRI several years later to double check since the headaches never went away.

 

Because of my other health conditions, there was a time that I was really paying attention to these types of things. I soon realized that my headaches seemed to have a few specific causes. One was hormonal, which has been alleviated to none or one headache per month thanks to the birth control pill. Second was blood sugars. And third was tension headaches.
