I wear glasses and these are new this year so it's not my eyesight. Does anyone know what it can be. I've googled headaches and its came up tension headaches or clusters. I'm not prone to headaches so I'm taking bad real bad tbh

Could you possible have migraine? I have them. I have regular migraine and optical migraine whenever I don't wear sunglasses I get bad headache. Could your blood sugar be high or to low? Have you been treated for diabetic?

It's not migraines as they think it could be neurological as I was having other symptoms such as pins and needles in my fingers and arms and pins and needles in my toes. Plus it's now looking like pressure on my brain. I'm having an MRI scan on Tues.

Hi, how did the MRI scan go? Did you get the results yet?

Hey MRI went as well as it can be. Results will be 7-10 days time so roughly week of 2nd or week of 9th March. It was roughly 20 mins in the scanner painless lol. Hope I get an outcome or it will be a lumbar puncture eeek

How is everything going miss Laura? Did you hear back yet?

[Miss Laura]

Hey still no word on MRI it's been 18 days. Saw my GP on Monday so asked him. He said apparently he doesn't get the results I'll get them before him??? Huh??? Also he "checked" there was nothing there. I told my worker she said he actually could of investigated if he wanted to but apparently he couldn't be bothered.

My symptoms are mostly low level now. Although still got pins and needles, headache not as sever mind you, high blood pressure, dizziness, sore neck and skull lower levels of pain though.

Thank you for enquiring though when I find out hopefully next week I'll post an update ok

[Discombobulated]

That must be frustrating for you, I hope no news is good news. Glad the symptoms are a little improved- thanks for updating us.

Hey how's it going? Checking in on you Miss Laura, I guess much of your medical treatment has been sidelined by this pandemic. Hoping you are okay.

[Miss Laura]

Hey guys,

Thank you so much for keep checking in on me.

I haven't heard anything re my MRI. I had it over a month ago. I saw my GP 2 Monday's ago if not the Monday before... it was over the 10 day mark he says nothing was through. So it's a waiting game.

Still a little bit of pain re my head/neck/skull. GP has moved Codeine 15mg instead of being on 2 tablets three times a day he has said it's a AS REQUIRED med. Thinking of stopping it altogether as he clearly thinks I don't need it and I won't get anymore when they run out as they are meant to be a longer script if you get me cause it's a PRN med.

So other than in pain and not sleeping much life is a breeze compared to some other's in the current climate I really can't complain

[Miss Laura]

Got a letter at weekend.... MRI..... CLEAR no abnormalities phew!!!

[Discombobulated]

Great news!!

I hope the headaches are less of a problem and the blood pressure too.

[Miss Laura]

Blood pressure still high so who knows what's going on with that tbh. Headache gone completely ironic huh!
