I Took a Break

I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve taken pictures, many of them. I’ve made some in photoshop with my own photographs.

You can see below.

Anyway. I’ve been having a hard time. The HRT was giving me migraines that just got worse and worse. The doctor told me to “just stop.”

“Just stop?” I didn’t think it was a good idea, as you can imagine.

Spoiler alert: It wasn’t.

I got dizzy, had a massive panic attack, was freezing and shaking. Ended up in the emergency room where they did all the test. I’m physically fine. And yes, they agreed, I should not have been advised to “just stop.” It should have been a taper.

I called my doctor after I left to clarify what the next step was and no one answered and no one called me back.

I am hormone free.

My head is achey. I feel unbalanced. My brain-eye connection seems to be misfiring.

One good thing is that I located my favorite neurologist from the Headache Center I used to go to and I’ve requested an appointment with her.

In my brief time away, I’ve decided to start painting and drawing more.

I used to sell my art, watercolor paintings in particular, but when my vision started getting worse, I stopped. I don’t know about creating anything with even a semblance of fine detail, but I want to create something.

I’m thinking textures and large images.

I may make another page for that.
