i´m in need of a bit of advice. I´ve
been lucky enough to never really suffer
from headaches in the past, but over the
last few months i´ve had a recurring pain
in the upper left hand side of my head.
It´s not an agonising pain, more of an
annoyance, and feels unlike any other
headache i´ve had. This wouldn´t
normally cause that much concern, but
after a bit of research i´ve seen a few
other of my niggling annoyances share the
same signs as certain brain tumours.
I´ve had bad body twitching (muscle
spasms) all of my life, which only worsen
year on year. I don´t sleep well. My
short term memory is very bad.
To top it all, I have just noticed a
swelling on the same side of my head, and
this is unrelated to any external
impact.
I´m currently on a round the world trip,
and am desperate not to cut it short and
have to go home to get this diagnosed.
I´m looking for someone that can tell me
if I should be worried enough to start
some serious investigations.
