About this blog

Chronic. Invisible. Debilitating. (and hard to diagnose.)


These 3 words describe Soeun’s physical discomfort when he is in Australia.



The actual blog part of this blog (Scrapbook) is partly things I wrote in June 2016 during Migraine Awareness month reflecting back on 2011-12, trying to understand things, as well as links to relevant articles I'm reading these days. And bits and pieces of other things about life with the Dizzy Monster.

timeline of 2011-2012, part 7, the summer (Dec- Feb) A diagnosis, a drug and long school vacation

Finally in December we had a diagnosis.

And the doctor prescribed a drug to try. It was hard to take but seemed to help.

And we moved out of one on campus room
and into another which had more air flow, natural light and privacy.

We travelled north twice during this time for some family events (Christmas and a wedding).

Soeun's health seemed much better. I think we had been thinking maybe we should just go back to Cambodia, as being in Aus seemed useless, well destructive even. But the end of December and January and Feb seemed ok. But at the end of March his health went downhill. And the side effects of the drug became overwhelming.
