To the Chiropractor!



So.....
After receiving some advice from a bowling friend who has headaches like mine, I took a trip to the chiropractor.


Well: 
This is a normal neck X-ray. 

Typically, people who get headaches like mine have no curve there. I, however, have the opposite. The blue shows the normal curve. My neck is more like the red curve--it starts normal, but comes back....mind you, this neck was from Google Images, and I made those lines myself. That's not exactly how my back goes, just sort of. 
























So along with my wrongly-curved neck, I also have a possible case of scoliosis!


Oh, and my wisdom teeth are going to come in crooked....the things an x-ray can reveal....


So yeah, I'm seeing the chiropractor twice a week now, and yes, this probably will affect my bowling. 


But as long as this fixes my ridiculous headaches, I suppose I should be happy.


Ok....I actually have a lot to do, but one of my journalism-nerd friends said something about his blog, so I thought I should blog. 


Well....back to researching for Speech. 


Loving Chiropractors,

Bowling, School, and Headaches

Well.....bowling this year has gone better, yet way worse than planned.


High School bowling has gone quite well. I actually have been put in 2 Varsity matches (started in one!) and 1 Varsity Tournament...not the only sophomore on JV that time :/


However, in my Saturday Youth League....bad things. 
In the last 3 weeks, I've only been averaging about 138...which is TERRIBLE for me. 


In other news, I like Chemistry this year more than last year's Biology.....but I have a B! 
I have a B! How? 
Well let's see.........got 3 D quizzes in a row.....then an 87 on the test.
Really? 
I studied my freaking butt off for that test, and the quiz before that I also studied for, yeah that was an 85, too. 
Seriously? 
Why can't reality live up to my expectations? I EXPECTED to get an A for the quarter in Chemistry...yeah that didn't happen, and neither did an A- in English.
And all my family members are like "You're a journalism major!" (Because they still think that high school has majors) "How can you have a B in English!?!"
Well, we read and do comprehension quizzes...and I have really crappy comprehension skills. I just do.
Which leads to my next issue, my headaches. 
WHY ARE THEY HERE?
No problem with my eyes, and the doctor doesn't think it's sinuses. She told me I have to change my diet dramatically, which I've done. She told me to go to bed at 10, which I've only done a few times because of my homework amounts. 
Guess how many days I've gone without a headache since I saw the doctor?
0.
Yeah...nothing is helping.
Which kind of makes me think I have a serious problem. My mind has trouble comprehending things now, and I have these headaches all the time. 
I don't really know what's wrong, but I want it fixed like, now. 


Loving weekends,

Yeah....I've changed my name to Jamie now. I'm still a bowler, but now the Internet can know me as Jamie the Bowler....
in case anyone actually reads this blog anymore...
