Feeling just ok today. It always seems like something though! Since coming home from the hospital, I’ve been pretty nauseous. I “lost” my breakfast yesterday morning but felt better by the afternoon. I had my MRI on Monday.
I’ve been pretty forgetful lately too. I’m afraid the migraines have effected the part of my brain that holds my memory. No joke. I also have a hard time finding the words when I’m talking or typing. This was evident immediately after returning home from the hospital but even so now. It sucks, I feel like I’m 80 or something. I feel so old. I got really pissed off about it and started crying yesterday. I just want to feel better. But then I stopped feeling sorry for myself and took Victoria to her school picnic which was very fun! 
I don’t know. Tom suspects that I’m having small seizures or strokes rather than migraines. The pain is concentrated on the left side and I have a pins and needle sensation on my left hand when I have an episode. It’s scary to think about. We’ll soon find out. I’m seeing the neurologist on Friday.
So the neurologist put me on new meds and I can’t sleep. I’m in a horrible mood during the day because of it too. I just want to scream!! Anyway, if anyone has any information they’d like to share regarding migraines or strokes or the like, please let me know. I think I should educate myself rather than solely take the dr’s words (not that they don’t know what they’re doing because they do). I just think it’s important to be able offer suggestions to quickly get to the root of the problem. So far, it’s taken 10 years to get me to the point of a doctor suggesting an MRI. Even so, I was discouraged. I requested the MRI and asked my neurologist to write up a referral. It wasn’t until I was rushed to the hospital that he said I should have had it done! So you get it.
Like I said, if you find any info you’d like to share please do!
