Where have I been?

I'm not sure if I have mentioned this previously but I have just started seeing a Physiotherapist that specialises in migraines. A few weeks in she asked me if I had jaw problems and it was actually one of the first symptoms I had. 

In the last month after jaw stretches, massage and dry needling I have been in constant pain.  I've been living on pain killers three times a day.  I'm still in pain while writing this, even though I've had pain killers.  I'm sure you can imagine that it is not easy to write a blog in constant pain.  

I'm sure that there is a connection between my jaw and migraines and this pain is only for now.  If it means that I can get rid of daily debilitating migraines, I'm happy to be in constant pain for a while. 

I also underwent an Electrophysiology study (heart study, read more about it here) where they attempted to burn out the extra pathway due to the Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome I have (read about it here).  Unfortunately it wasn't successful and I may need to have the procedure again.  I will need to speak to my cardiologist in a month to see if this is required.  I recovered from the procedure quickly and even though there are risks involved, as far as procedures go, this one isn't too invasive. 

I feel like I'm finally getting some answers in regards to my health and what is really going on. After 2 years, 3 neurologists, 1 neurosurgeon, 2 cardiologists, 1 nutritionist, 1 physiotherapist and 2 great GPs, I think I'm getting closer to a solution! 

I have been told by many that my weight isn't causing my issues because after losing this much weight I would have seen some improvements.  This doesn't mean that I am going to stop losing weight or eating healthy.  This is what I have control over, health wise and it's been the best thing that I have ever done for myself. 

Goals for next week

I have lost weight in the last month but I know that I could have lost more.  I haven't been eating as healthy as I could or should.  Next week I'm going straight back to Paleo and eating healthy.  Keep me in line everyone! ;)
