Well today is the day....going to see the neurosurgeon and the neurologist on the same day. Lord give me strength. I so desperately want them to say, "Ok, you can go back to work now." And yet I know in my mind that that is not going to happen.

It's been such a horrible week. Major weather changes here have left me in excruciating pain all week long. Less than 2 solid hours of sleep a night. My paiin medications are not working, my neck, back and head are killing me and wearing this mask of happy face is annoying the C**P out of me. I just want to stay in bed! Ok that's the end of the pity party...sorry!

I hope someone changes something. A med a treatment, something. Wish me luck!

not what I wanted to hear

Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!

I hope I catch you in time for your appointments. Hemiplegic Migraine, (HM) a rare for of Migraine disease is currently being treated by some docotrs with verapamil, lamictal and diamox. Teri and I learned this in June at the AHS Scientific conference. We went to a presentation on HM and those are the drugs often used. There are two types of HM, Familial Hemiplegic (FHM) and Sporadic Hemiplegic Migraine (SHM). One of the only ways to diagnose this type of Migraine is if there is true motor weakness or paralysis on one side of the body. Feel free to take this info with you to the doctors.

Your accident sounds horrible and I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. Please let us know how else we can help you.
