Thank god the blogger does not deactivate your account if you do not blog regularly. December has been one of the busiest months for me. And it continues to be busy. I don't remember a single day when I was home, except well for today. That too, because finally my body gave up and I am too tired to function today. There is a business trip in Raigad District tomorrow, and I have to be fit for that.
I don't think I have ever blogged about this, but I am very scared of doctors. I cannot visit them when I am unwell. It's a kind of phobia. When I am unwell, I will do everything possible - from regular tablets like crocin and such to dadima ke nuskhe; or I will call up a doctor friend and ask him to recommend me a medicine for whatever illness I have. He is strictly against it as it's not advisable to prescribe to medicines without checking the patient; but he gives in most of the times!
My problem is that I cannot visit a doctor for my illness. I have this phobia that they will end up voicing out some illness which is incurable or unheard of. Same thing happened yesterday too. It took me great courage and 8 days of non-stop headache to visit a doctor. So far I was thinking I was suffering from migraine, but I was wrong. And my fears came true yet again when the doctor announced that I was suffering from cluster headache.
Cluster headache? I had never heard about it. I started to panic. I asked him what exactly it was, he was about to explain when a nurse came running as there was some emergency. I waited for him for about 20 minutes in tension. Finally he explained to me what it was exactly. He said it was not a bad kind of headache, but it may cause a lot of pain when the attack is at its peak, and the pain may last for days too. He was worried as he knows me well, and after the examination diagnosis, he said it was a bit serious and I should be careful, but other doctor friends said that it was not so bad. I hope it is not.
And thanks to the headache and medication, I have finally got a day off. I am not working right now and resting. I guess these medicines may have its side effects such as weakness, but yeah I am feeling totally drained out. And resting at home. And blogging to finally after so many days. I miss this place.
In other news, I celebrated my birthday this month. Friends threw a bring in bash for me. That's such a teenage thing to do, and I had so much fun. We got drunk on Irish Cream, watched The dirty Picture (which is an awful movie), talked all night, went for lunch the next day, spent the evening with family and met other set of friends for dinner. In short, it was a wonderful birthday for me. And loads of gifts too.
And new year is approaching too. I don't have fancy plans. I will be working on the 31st, a small house party at a friend's place and back home the next day. Wish you all a very happy new year in advance. What are your plans?
All the best for your tomorrow's meeting!

Life is too short, dear. Take care of your health. As they say: jaan hai to jahaan hai:)
You seem o have lined upNew yera celebrations well in advance.
ReplyDeleteIt may soundfunny, but, these headaches also be due to work strain, stress.
And ,yes, antibiotics could result into serious weakness.
Cluster headache..ok I won't delve deep into it but my left eye's been twitching for a few days. I am scared to go to a doc :/
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, belated birthday wishes! Have a great new year :)
Cluster headache? Hearing that for the first time! I guess your phobia of not visiting doctors is not totally out of context. Its better not to visit them until something goes really out of hand.
ReplyDeleteLOL!I never knew you guys had such ideas. Come on, doctors are very approachable and friendly. And you are an equal partner in the healing process with the doctor. It's not a submission to his mercy, rather more like a mutual exercise. If you think this way, may be your phobia will disappear.
ReplyDeleteHappy happy new year to you Neha :)
ReplyDeleteHappy new year; wishing you loads of Irish creams and fun :)
