So I finally got out of the house and off my lazy butt today. Since Tuesday I've felt like crap. I get these horrible headaches where my head constantly hurts and I get random painful bursts of throbbing pain through my scull. When I get these headaches I also get horrible nightmares when my headaches are really bad.
So I did the smart thing and went to the doctor. Upon my visit I found out the bladder infection I had in late December is STILL there! This completely shocked me. My doctor asked how I could have a bladder infection (a really bad one at that) and have no idea it's there. Well that's because I have a very high pain tolerance. Once I badly sprang BOTH ankles in gym and walked across my school campus twice back and forth, and I walked home from the bus stop. (I don't like to let a little thing like pain stop me ;))So now I've got an antibiotic and some new pain meds. They also granted me with a lovely purple bruise on my inner elbow. It came from having six tubes of blood taken out of me. (sarcasm) woohoo
All in all I'm hoping all these tests they are running with my blood will help figure out whats wrong with me. What a great life I live. I'm still looking for my silver lining. Wish me luck on this seemingly impossible quest.

It sounds like you're dealing with chronic migraine headaches. There are people that go their whole lives with them, and in some they just disappear after awhile. Hopefully you are the latter. I'm sorry to hear that you have a bladder infection on top of that... A strong pain threshold is a good thing to have. Regardless of what any male tells you, women have a higher tolerance to pain than men do. I'm glad you have meds to make it manageable, though! Feel better, sweetie!

My doctor said that it might be chronic migrine headaches. That's one of the things they are trying to test for.
