re: Calling all docs

I suffered from migraines and cluster headaches. Sometimes to the point that all I did was lay in bed, curled up crying and begging for relief.

She already has an appointment with her neuron who has been following her and saw her in the hospital both times.

UPDATE: so, now for the final update. We have reached the sassy portion of the day.

She called me requesting food. She is ready for me to cook the pork chops, rice and make cornbread muffins. But she needs a strawberry snacky snack while she’s waiting.

After requesting this, she told my sister “food bitch acquired!” And that is the difference in headache Nana and sassy pants Nana. I’m off to cook pork loin chops in olive oil and brown butter…as requested.

She does send her thanks for all the advice and the well wishes.

I’m a doctor.

But it’s a Juris one.

Stagger ibuprofen and acetaminophen by 2 hours. No sooner.

Don’t settle for less than an MRI. Push to get one

I’m not a doctor but have an interesting story that I would like to pose to the docs.

Years ago I worked with medical supplies. A regular customer, guy, would come in every month to get a large oxygen bottle. He said he suffered from debilitating migraines about 20 days a month and the only thing that gave him any relief was using an oxygen mask.

He had been dealing with this for years.

After a few months, he brought back his oxygen bottle and did not ask for a refill. He had been taking super high amounts of vitamin C and did not have any more migraine symptoms.

Does that sound legit to the docs of the OT?

I get the aura without the migraine.

Typically her hemiplegics are numbness and slight one-sided paralysis with no headache. Her regular migraines she gets aura. Both this week she had aura, headache and numbness. But, her symptoms were less severe and didn’t last for long although they did cycle through a couple of times.

She likes to be in her own bed, with her woobie, with her room cool and dark and silent as possible. Mommy cuddles are also a must.

Today, once her Motrin kicked in and she got a couple of good hours of sleep, she was so much better. She got her appetite back, had a good dinner and went to bed early because she was tired.

We’re hoping that she either outgrows them (unlikely) or she is better able to manage them.

I’ll have to get my sister to talk to her doctor about this. I used to carry sumatriptan on me at all times.

And.

Hey Bait….yeah, life and stuff. I’m trying to stop by more often. Good seeing you.
