I am much healthier and stronger now. I am eating regularly, and starting to get outside and exercise again. I can't wait to take dance classes again! Went to UCLA medical to meet with Dr. Yamasaki and discuss possible other causes of headaches. She was cheerful and peppy, and made me do all kinds of silly tests like tapping knees, checking memory, and seeing if I knew what year it was. I thought today was the 12th, but otherwise passed all the tests including remembering blue \ horse \ cook as three words given to me at the start. Fun image! After much consultation with other doctors in the center, she returned with a gaggle of doctors to suggest that I have a muscle tension headache. I will be taking super small does of an antidepresant which has the effect of relaxing brain muscles over time. Takes about 3 to 6 months to determine whether or not it is working. And if it works, then it's done, and I don't need to take the meds anymore. Super cool and promising. I'm always wary of taking medication, and will be researching this one thoroughly before I put it in my mouth. On the plus side, it will cure my severe depression :D
