Results of My CT Scan
I've been suffering from a super mild headache since November. A doctor at UC Davis examined me and decided it wasn't anything serious. The headaches weren't anything too distracting until after school let out. All summer I've had this headache constantly. I finally got into Kaiser this month and, among other things, they took a CT scan of my head.
Unfortunately they did not post the raw image data online. That would have been way too fun to look at a CT scan of my head, and render images from the raw data, but that would just totally confuse 99.99% of people. Sometimes I hate being an engineer.
Translation: the radiology department sees absolutely nothing wrong with my head. The medication Kaiser put me on has helped up to a point. The headache was gone all of last week, but I got dehydrated this weekend and then got sick, and the headache has come back full force.
