day 15 and weigh

well i have had a bit of an odd few days. I am still to go to the loo even since wed i think it is a mix of the new dosage of topamax the co-dydramol and the diamox last night i took six spoons of lactolose in an attempt to shift something and all it has moved so far is wind fingers crossed something will move soon.

on a far less gross story our cats have adopted a cat of their own it seems during the cold winter we noticed they had befriended a cat that seemed to spend a lot of time in our shed. we did not it cos we thought it was someone else's cat and she was just coming over to play with our cats. then last month i noticed that even though she looked like a big cat cos she has such long bushy hair she was acutely on the brink of starvation so we put a comfortable out in the shed for her and put food out for her. first of all it was little and often and then she was fed at the same time as my cats. now she is at a stage that she is at ease with us we took her to our local vets to see if she had been chipped and no she had not no-one had reported her missing with the vet either. they then told us that they did not deal with strays and we would have to go elsewhere to get her checked out we went to see a friend who is a fosterer for Batersy Dogs and cats home to get some advice. and whilst we were chatting one of her dogs a female cross staff that doesn't normally sit on people for a fuss she always sits on the floor for you to pet her but for some reason she resided to jump up next to me and lay across me like a baby so i could not move whilst the other dog of the house was after my attention too i had to rub both their bellies then suddenly i a funny turn you know the ones where the everything becomes very trippy. it was was odd it was almost as if the older dog new it was coming and that was why she had me pinned down cos the closer it the turn got the more weight she applied she did not want me to get up. lol must tell my neuro about that maybe we are barking up the wrong tree with migraines for the fainting.

went over to a friends later that day and day a big argument with them i had to walk it off, so i went to the shop (it's a ten minuet walk) i could feel my head buzzing as i walked i got some bits. some that he wanted some that i wanted and when i was in the cue to pay there was this man in the que behind me that reeked on alcohol so bad it made me feel like i was going to be sick. i had to get out of there as quick as i could i paid got my change without checking and left the shop. at that point my friend rang to see if i was ok and i am glad i did i felt dizzy and sick he talked to me all the way back. i felt as if i had drank a bottle and a half of vodka by the time i got back i had bumped into 3 bin's and a brick wall, i sounded like a drunk too. then after sitting for 20 minuets and a pint of water i was back to normal again just like that when suddenly i had this feeling above my left eye like the worst bout of brain freeze you could ever get and then some so bad it made me cry out. it was gone as fast as it came and i was left with my usual headache behind the eyes and at the base of my scull, i went home.

The Neuro who i have every faith in, believes these are the answer they just have to get into my system.so i have to give them a chance.
