boyfriend, headaches, EEG

[yukinon]

So yes. My boy is going in for an EEG on Nov. 29th in order to attempt to figure out the crippling and inexplicable headaches he's been getting at least once a month since March and.....I'm kind of scared. I'm not sure what I'm scared of, but I'm worried, particularly after witnessing him absolutely fall apart due to one of these headaches.

About a week ago at school he started the day with a bad headache, falling dead asleep on my shoulder before my class. When I left for class I moved him over to stretch out on the couch, gave him a pillow, and he didn't even wake up. I came back, he was mildly awake, and freezing. (He's never ever cold.)Then the normally stubborn boy allowed me to give him my jacket. Which was a red flag of 'wow he's really sick' to me.

Slightly later, his dad called, insisting he come home, despite the dangerous weather. (storms, hail, torrential rain, etc.) I was scared for him, but we couldn't argue with his dad, so we left the parking lot and went our seperate ways. Until he called saying his dad had told him to turn back. I pulled over into the parking lot, told him to meet me because he was coming with me. He DIDN'T ARGUE. (red flag 2) I got him in the car, he leaned the seat back, and simply slumped there. Knowing him to normally be an energetic, fidgety, talkative boy, this scared me. He was also talking in mumbles the few times he did talk, obviously in pain. He was also having chest pain and coughing every so often, which really scared me because I know he's had collapses and possibly a heart attack before.

But what really killed me was along the way, when there were many times I couldn't tell if he was conscious or not. I was trying to take care of him and drive properly as well. Every so often he would jerk and breathe sharply. He explained to me later that it was another wave of pain coming on, but at the time it terrified me and it still makes me sick to remember it. So I got him safely to my grandma's, he allowed me to help him out of the car, into the house, and to the couch. He didn't say a word to my grandma except "Thank you so much." He then allowed me to bring him a pillow, medicine, and to cover him up with a blanket.(red flag 3) He then promptly passed out for two hours and woke up well enough to drive home.

So yes. These are not just migraines or whatever. This headache completely shut him down and it was the waves of pain he was experiencing in the car that really scared me. I don't know what we'll find out, if anything, but I at least got him to admit that he wants me to go with him.(Him: well you don't really have to...Me: Look, yes or no. Him:*no hesitation* YES.)

He won't admit it, but I think he's a little freaked out as well. And I won't make him admit that, but I want to be with him. I'm terrified of something serious. Please pray for him.

I will be praying.

Lord,
Bring peace to Yukinon and her boyfriend. Whatever the outcome of this test, I pray that your will be done. Above all, I pray that it would show something definite so they at least know what's going on. I pray for healing for Yukinon's boyfriend so he can lead a normal life without the crippling headaches. Thank you for keeping your hand on these two in this scary situation, and thank you in advance for what you are going to do.

In Jesus name,
Amen

hai, the 29th, around 10 AM I believe. We actually won't get the results until Dec. 13, but please continue to pray. I'm not even allowing myself to think about worst case scenarios until we know something for sure.

And to think, we've only been going out about 3 months...

[Warrior4Christ]

I will be praying for his recovery.

i will pray for him my friends bf had problems similar to that

[SP1]

On the bright side, when he gets stable, he will know deep down that you were with him in a difficult time. That makes you a keeper:)

[Silent Hunter]

Ouch. That's one really bad "headache." One thing though, I'm really impressed at how well you handled the situation. It sounds like a tough one to have been in, and I don't know anything him, but I think he will really appreciate your being there for him and helping him out. I'll be praying that the doctors will find the cure to the problem. Keep your chin up.

How did test day go? Still praying.

[yukinon]

Test day went well, considering. There is something about sitting by your boyfriend in the waiting room of a doctor's office that brings forth the reality and seriousness of the relationship. I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else than with him at that time.

I met his sister (she's a nurse, so she administered the test), and the test went well, regardless of the fact that the entire time I wanted to interrupt the test and pull him off the table and hug him. Or at least something to tangibly remind him I was there. There was light teasing and banter throughout, and many strong hugs given throughout the day. You know...those hugs you give someone when you're afraid of losing them?

Yeah, so now that I've made myself blush twice in one post, I'll wrap things up. We'll know the results tomorrow, and presumably it wasn't anything horribly serious since they didn't call us before now. I am hoping they found out something though, so he can be relieved of these headaches. We're both with our families for Christmas (a few hundred miles apart), but he promised to call and tell me.

I'll definately pray for him and you. God said do not worry about anything, instead pray about everything.
