I'm nervous about the headache specialist tomorrow. I'm afraid I'm not "sick" enough to merit a specialist. I'm afraid they'll think I'm a hypochondriac. I'm afraid they'll tell me to lose weight and have a more regular sleep cycle and go away.
They're going to do a complete workup, including a psychophysiologist. I guess I'd better tell my therapist. I'm afraid of what they'll think, what they'll want to know, that they might want to be able to talk to my therapist. There are things about me that my therapist knows, and that may even have something to do with headaches, that I don't want to be on my record and that I don't want these people to know. I don't want a letter from my insurance company like the one I got about diabetes. :(
Oh well, I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. All I probably need to worry about tomorrow is that they won't consider that I need a specialist and that I will feel like a big idiot.
