I have suffered from Migraines for about three years now. Recently they have changed and I am having difficulty remembering things. I in fact blacked out on the way to work a couple of weeks ago and only remember about half of my trip and I was driving on the freeway, certainly not such a good thing. A few days later I had the worst migraine of my life and my husband was scared of how I was reacting to it. I don't remember parts of it either.
I called my GP last Friday and he got me into a Neurologist yesterday. I did not really see eye to eye with her as she said there isn't much they can do for me unless I am willing to prevent pregenancy as any preventative they would give me would not be safe for my unborn child. Having tried for nearly five years to have a baby and the likelihood of this happening on our own is not probable but I am not wililng to prevent it either. If it is God's will for us to have one of his little miracles I am not giong to stop that. While I was there she did not look at my medical history or ask about family history, she gave me her obligatory five minutes and out the door she went. She did however order an MRI.
Which I had today. The MRI was not so bad, but I was very nervous about it and discovered I am a little more clausterphobic than I realized! But I made it through. I had the option for ear plugs or music. I chose the Gospel radio station I listen to and that helped. At one point the radio cut out and I started singing in my head Rejoice, Rejoice and be glad in him. Then I thought wow I wonder if they can tell I am singing and pictured little musical notes dancing across their screens. Maybe God was giving me a little comical break when I most needed it! LOL
However now I have to wait for the doctor to get the results. If it is normal I will get a letter in the mail. If it is abnormal I will get a phone call. I am really scared. I just feel like something is wrong. I have never blacked out or experienced the migraine pain I did a couple of weeks ago. The fact that I can't remember things, it is like my mind is numb. I am only 34 and far to young for this to be happening. I am worried how much damage I am doing to my brain by not trying to prevent the migraines rather than just treating them with medication to get rid of them.
Please pray that if there is something wrong that the doctors will have the wisdom to fix it. If there isn't then please pray I can find a doctor who will help me. One who will listen and care about me.
