Wednesday, January 2nd

I’ve been having weird headaches for maybe a week or so. Started with a pressure/squeeze feeling on my right temple, then also happened on my left a day or two later. Now I get sort of squeezing vice like pangs in different places but it comes and goes. This is different then my usual headaches which I could feel coming and would get better or worse depending on my actions (foods, screens, meds, etc). These ones are random and don’t stick around. A bit frightening. Wanted to note it down somewhere just in case I collapse or die from something like a brain aneurism. :/

Today and two days ago haven’t been great. Lots of abdo pangs and squeezing and pulling pains in my groin. Generally feeling fairly down as well. I wonder if it’s because I’ve gone two weeks without acupuncture (last gone Dec 17th, I go again on the 4th)?

Bought a book called “The doctor will see you now” and it is making me more convinced that I could have endometriosis. There’s a story in there very similar to mine where a 30 yr old woman with no previous symptoms and a couple kids had spontaneous pelvic pain that was diagnosed as a burst cyst and the pain never went away and a couple years later had a lap with an excision specialist and had endo throughout.... so maybe. But it also makes me scared because the best shot at removing endo is deep excision surgery - everything else seems to be temporary relief or lots of side effects or likely to exacerbate... sigh.

Also side note - having a few large pimples in different places. One on my collar bone, one on my jawline, a couple on my back... but they’re all full of fluid, not like a red raised bit with a white head...
