Well, that wasn't it

Friday afternoon, I got a call. All of my labs were back. There was no evidence of tick borne illness. Nonetheless, there is no doubt that an infection was causing my headache and some other symptoms. I did not have a fever, but I did have chills. I broke out inside my mouth. I broke out on my face near my mouth. Oh, yes, about the headaches. When I started the antibiotic, the first day or two I felt better. Headaches did not last as long. I even had a couple of days with no headache. Then the headaches were back with a vengeance. Certain combinations of over the counter meds helped enough that I could sleep, but my head would hurt all day. Monday morning I took the last antibiotic pill. Had a headache, but by bed time it was gone.While I napped earlier in the day it occurred to me to check side effects. One side effect of that medicine can be headaches. Not real frequently, but it does happen. No headaches the rest of the week, not even when I first woke up. Now today, I had a large headache. I took over the counter stuff I have had good luck with. It stuck around, though, until after I took my prescription muscle relaxer. I had been looking at information to try to find out what kind of headache I had today. Matching charts and images it seemed it was a tension headache. My biggest source of tension lately has been worrying about our car situation and being frustrated at having to juggle our departures to fit Bob's treatments. So we bought a car today. And he only has one more hyperbaric treatment. I only have four more days of summer school. I can feel the tension lifting. Hopefully I will not have a headache in the morning.
