About sharing the results of my neuro appointment
yesterday....but I think I will.
Overall it was good news.
After a very thorough exam and very lengthy
discussion with the Physician's Assistant the
conclusion is that my last episode, nearly two
years ago now, was a complicated migraine.
This is good news as there was concern that
it was a mini stroke.
Not surprising to me she noted that I still have
weakness on my right side. Stunning how these
effects remain.
I am beginning a course of steroid treatment and
will take a medication to attempt to ward off any
future attacks. I would be very opposed to taking
meds for this if it weren't for the lasting effects of
the last one. I am concerned about what another
one could do. So, I am going to try this.
The longer I have gone since the last migraine the
more I experience dread and fear. Stress is a
trigger for me and these headaches so I could actually
bring one on with all of the worry.
The PA also told me that the nearly daily headaches
I experience are also a form of migraine. So I haven't
necessarily been migraine free either.
I might be a new woman before long.
If I lose the pain....look out people!
I'll be so full of energy you won't be
able to keep up!!!!
Hugs.
Thanks for listening.
I like to document these things here because
I look back for dates and details that I would
otherwise forget.
