I had an MRI of my head last week because of bad headaches I've been having lately. I thought they were sinus headaches because the ragweed polen count this year has been awfully high in our area.

I went to an ENT and she had a CT of my sinuses done and said it's not my sinuses and sent me to the headache clinic where they suspected migraines. They did an MRI.

Yesterday the doctor called and told me the results. I'm definitely having migraine headaches....almost daily. I also had a small stroke at some time which resulted in a small amount of brain damage. I'm still trying to absorb the shock of this information.

I'll be seeing the doctor on Friday and need to be prepared to ask him some inteligent questions. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them. I'm really kind of numb after hearing this. Also, the Topamax they put me on for migraines is dulling my thinking.
