Always keep you doctor updated
April 29th 2008 03:27
I am trying hard to take little steps as summer gets closer.I am making an effort to get out more.It is not easy.Today we were in an area that I wasn't familiar with and there was a roundabout...my husband was driving.He was going slow.But even so,just going around that,I actually felt this sharp pain,heard it in my head.It was almost like a snap sound.
I'm gong to call the clinic tomorrow and talk to a nurse.I may be able to get them to talk to the neuro they sent me to consult with.I still have more pain there than I usually do.And it really scared me.
I just know I need to call anytime something is different with my pain.Of all the migraine attacks and with this chronic migraine for over 3yrs now,I've had alot of things happen,but not like this.
So if you have migraine,migraine attacks,you should contact your doctor anytime you have something "different" happen.Migraine can lead to stroke.I was suppose to have a cat scan anyway because the neuro thought my new symptom "facial pain" was sinus...whatever...I haven't had that done yet.Maybe if they consult w/him they'll add to it.I am not one that presses the panic button.
But with this event and the difference I feel in that area,I have to let the doctor know.My genetics are not the greatest in my family.My brother,who is only 3 yrs older than me,had a stroke last year.The doctors said the only thing they could come up with was genetics.
My oldest brother has 100% blockage in one side of his neck.So,it's just better to keep the doctor clued in to what's going on.I learned that when I went to the dermatologist.I had a mole on one of my toes.I wasn't going to show him and decided to at the last minute.(my brother has melanoma) I felt stupid when I showed him.Well,I ended up having to have it removed,2 procedures.
It's better to feel stupid and say something than to take a risk at something going wrong.
