Head Rush: Take 2 Aspirin and Call Me When I Have My MD

August 14, 2002

Take 2 Aspirin and Call Me When I Have My MD

Take 2 Aspirin and Call Me When I Have My MD
For 15 minutes today, I sincerely thought I had a brain tumor. (Well, it would certainly explain a lot if I did have one ... Tumors of the medial prefrontal area of the brain can impair intellect, attention, problem solving and judgment...but I digress.) I had such a bad migraine this afternoon that 2 Excedrin and 6 Advil in a 5 hour time span did nothing for me. Usually I have a modicum of relief from ibuprofen, but today, nothing was working. A while ago I gave up on the vasoconstricting pharmaceuticals for migraines such as Imitrex and Zomig, as they both made me loopy. I tried my usual caffeine/ibu cocktail, and succeeded in only making myself nauseous. When that didn't work, I left work early, came home and crashed for an hour. Ordinarily I don't give my headaches a second thought, but the past few weeks they have been consistent and unending. If I didn't feel better after sleep, I thought, then there was something really wrong. After an hour-long nap, I awoke, realized I was pain-free, and relieved. So I went to my last chem class even more determined to succeed... neuroscience is more than a passion. It's something that must be better understood. And better managed. And not just for my own personal relief.
I'm not exactly a neurological hypochondriac -- I'm not one to cry wolf with every ache and pain. I've had a family history of neurological disorders and diseases that have always given me pause. My grandfather died at 52 of a brain tumor. My mother had a severe stroke at 32 leaving her partially blind. Personally, I've had a history of tumors, epilepsy, severe head trauma, and migraines. So, I think I was somewhat justified in being nervous this afternoon, as I haven't been feeling well for a few weeks.

Yeah, these are only some of the reasons for my wanting to focus on neuroscience as a med student. That ... and I want to rewire everyone's brain so they obey my every command.

Diabolical scheming is NOT a symptom of a brain tumor ... is it?
