boy you guys hit the nail on the head!!!!!


I was pretty dam scared when the neurologist walks in and says 'I'm a little confused as to what you're here for' (or something like that).

she was nearly great! I love medical people who actually want to 'help' their patients!!! she didn't say these exact words but basically 'I can't help you with that but i'll get you to someone who can'!!!!!

she thinks I might have something called Post Traumatic Migraine (or PTH). she already put in 2 med orders for me: one is a 'preventative' that I take daily and the other is to use at 'onset' of pain!

-> side note: can you believe that?! how can one doctor understand things so well, while another seems almost clueless?!?!?

she doesn't do 'eyes' but immediately put in a referral to an ophthalmologist. and if they can't find anything, she will send me to an 'eye specialist' whom she knows!!! (don't remember their exact job-title so i'll just say specialist for now)

she said things with me are "complex", she used the word 'muddy' like 5 or so times! so she will work with my BI doc, along with 1-2 other specialists to basically, divide and conquer! (aka, sort thru the mud to find out what is tied to what)

the downside to all this is more doc appts, more traveling to GET to those appts, and continuing symptoms for months or years to come
