An eventful day and worries

Because I take quatiapine at night, and because of its sedative properties it makes me very tired in the morning. I have to really fight through that tiredness to wake up. Usually trying to drag myself into the shower helps to wake me up for the day. And then comes the all too familiar headaches that do not disappear. No matter how much pain medication I take.
I've decided this month that I am going to check to get another MRI brain  time with the blue ink contrast. So I have to save up £400 again and phone my neurogragist and somehow convince them to give me another scan. Because I believe they have definitely missed something. I've tried to tell my parents for quite some time now but they don't believe me because of the previous results. So this time, I really hope that they find the root of the cause. But I start thinking.. I'm not the same person I was before I was pregnant and the sepsis got ahold of me. I am very forgetful, my mind works at a much slower pace now. I have frequent headaches and my concentration is terrible and not to mention my vision has blurred from 20/20 when I had my eyes lazered back in year 2014. Gosh. I hope this doesn't come across negative I'm trying to be upbeat as possible.

Hello out there?

So I see that people are reading my blog which is good, I appreciate any input, questions and advice from you guys. I guess the main thing on my mind is. I was wondering if anybody, who has had a brain tumour has experienced these same or similar symptoms? My symptoms consist of: Having headaches as strong as migraines which is best describe as the "worst headache ever" that doesn't go away. Having to take 3-5 cocodimols a day.  A dull pressure in my head that I can feel.  Enlarged pupils Poor concentration Slower thinking pace Poor patience Pain at the back of the eyes when you lean forwards Having to rest the head on a pillow or chair arm in the day Struggling to sleep Off vision and blurred even though I had 20/20 vision before pregnancy I used to multitask, think fast and was so intelligent before I got Sepsis in my pregnancy back in August. I survived that amazingly and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy called Leo. He's 1 now. He lives with hi

Headaches and Painkillers

So, for a couple of months now I have been experiencing headaches. Like a lingering headache everyday the best way to describe it is like the worst headache of my life. I have previously been trying to phase them out with painkillers, 3-5 cocodimols a day. I know that's not healthy.. as codine can become addictive. Trust me I'm not addicted to them. They just phase out the headaches for a short while but then the pressure in my skull is back apparent as ever. It never disappears and it's been like this for months now. What I can't understand is perhaps 4 months ago, I had an MRI scan. It wasn't with blue ink contrast though because the instructor who was going to do the test thought because I was only 27 it's unlikely to show anything up. Which is a silly reason and I really wish I had that blue ink contrast. I waited about 2 weeks for my scan results. I also had a full body CT scan with blue ink contrast to check other areas. And an EEG. During all these I wa
