Light - IH Awareness Month - Day 11

Sometimes Light is the hardest thing to find...I have shared this graphic before and it seems to come up quite often in my dealing with Intracranial Hypertension.

There is a lot of darkness with the disease. There is no cure. I go to appointments and have no idea if a medical person will know what I'm talking about. I have flip flopped on medication that doesn't relieve my symptoms. I have doctors who say they don't know what else to do. I have lost people to complications from the disease...strokes, brain bleeds, shunt complications, suicide.

It's a darkness that's easy to get stuck in because the light is so far away. It's hard to get out of that darkness. You are facing a disease with no cure. A disease, for me, that can cause me to replace weird words and sound like I make no sense. A disease that has caused me head pain of at least 6 out 10 on the pain scale every day since August of 2012. A disease that takes you to that darkness so easily and it gets compounded by months of a group of keyboard warriors with an annoying leader emailing every day for months on how you should fie. It's so easy to stay in the darkness when the entire cirlce of the disesaes is so hopeless.

The light is so hard to find...
