Gov Paterson migraine and glaucoma
May 23rd 2008 03:32
New York State Gov. David Paterson checked himself into hospital on Tuesday with symptoms of a migraine headache and preliminary test results were normal, the governor’s office said."
"He is now resting comfortably and will undergo further tests during the course of the day," it said in a statement.
People misleadingly call Migraine attacks "headaches" when it is much more than that, and the governor knows just that. Migraine “headaches” are actually caused by the inflammation in the head and is the result of neurological disease-like disorder which causes intense pain, light sensitivity, nausea and more - it can ruin your day or sometimes last a week long, slowly building and then climaxing in intense periods of nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
Symptoms of Migraine and its signs include moderate to severe pain, head pain, pain that worsens with physical activity, pain that interferes with your regular activities, nausea with or without vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound.

This is such an important statement....how any times have I heard at the er "oh,a headache"
Gov. David A. Paterson underwent successful laser surgery for acute glaucoma in his left eye yesterday and planned to recuperate at his Harlem apartment today.
You see,it was much more than a headache...It was glaucoma.Thankfully for him,he is a man and not a woman.Thankfully he has insurance,that the taxpayers pay for.
I may sound resentful,it's only because I am.I want equal treatment.I'm glad for the govenor.But I think we all deserve to have the same healthcare.
I'm resentful because I need help,I'm tired of pain.I'm tired of disrespect.And I feel my former insurance company are crimianals for calling my thyroid condition pre-existing that wasn't and I lost all my doctors because they then put every test,doctor,whatever under thyroid....stopped paying my endo,never paid my internal med doctor,who also was my gp,gyn.
All men are created equal....we are as women,we are as taxpayers.I should have the same right as the govenor,as Ted Kennedy,after all,we pay for their care.
