Woke up this morning with a massive headache, extreme nausea and light sensitivity.. and it didn't went away all day. So I spent my one day off in bed in a dark room, only left my bed to go have dinner at my moms house. I'm exhausted and I just want to sleep 😴, but the pressure in my head and behind my eyes is almost making it impossible. Even my screen as dark as possible is still to bright. I'm crying in pain right now, wishing I'll fall asleep very soon. I just want this day to be over. I really hoped my neurosurgeon would have mailed me by now, but haven't heard from him yet. I just want to know what his plan is going to be. I am debating with myself wether I should go to the ER for a lumbar puncture to relief the pain for a few hours, or maybe even days if I'm lucky. I have day shift at clinicals tomorrow again and I honestly don't know how I will get though the day. Please head just let me sleep tonight. Can't think straight anymore because of the pain and the pressure been to high. Hope you all had a better day than I've had. --------------------------------- #chronicillness #invisibleillness #sickbutstrong #miracleshappen #intracranialhypertension #icantdothisanymore #myheadhurts #iihsucks #ineedanap #pulsatiletinnitus #chronicillnurse #nursingstudent #spoonielife #lumbarpuncture #futurenurse #massiveheadache #chronicfatigue #chronicpain #idiopaticintracranialhypertension #shuntlife #shuntproblems #pressureheadache #butyoudontlooksick #sickandtiredofbeingsickandtired #brainsurgerysurvivor #brainfog #totiredtofunction #totiredtosleep #headachefromhell #helpmeplease
