Lots of headaches, weird neurological tests and one MRI later...

The last few weeks have been pretty scary! As many of you know, I have been struggling migrains since I was 18 and when they hit I don't just have a headache! I become completely incoherent, my hands, feet and tongue go numb and my vision goes a little spot crazy! Anyway, about a month ago I ahd the absolute worst migraine of my life! It was my 5th one for the month and Ryan almost took me to the hospital because the pain was worse than anything I have ever experienced and it scared him. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, especially for headaches and when I have had migraine episodes before this one i just take my medicine and go to sleep and get on with my life- but no sir, there was no going to sleep with this one!

So, I called my doctor the next day while still having the headache to find out what I should do and she felt that I really should go to a hospital or see a neurologist. So, I made myself an appointment with a neurologist even though this scared me as seeing this type of doctor is definately a last resort!

Dr.Blaire has been SO great!! He ran a series of tests and ordered an MRI despite the fact I did not want one :( let me tell you- it was horrible! Quite possibly the worst thing I have ever had to deal with on a medical level! I definately got a headache from the test that I thought would never end and have never been so dizzy in my life!

Thankfully, I had my follow-up appointment today for the results and everything came back normal! I do have to start visiting the neurologist every 4 months so we can document the number of headaches I am getting and I am on 2 new medications but hopefully everything will get better! I had a ton of people praying for me so if you were one of them- thank you!! I definately needed it during this time!
