Finally, my primary care doctor decided it was time to figure out what was going on and said that it was most likely migraines, but the symptoms were strange, and she wanted me to get an EEG.
After an appointment with my ophthalmologist, and a clear EEG and MRI later, I have been told that I am most likely just having migraines and anemia (which I already knew).
While my primary care physician is still looking to rule things out, we have been treating them like migraines.
I decided against getting a 6 hour EEG because I would rather just wait until another “episode,” so my doctor can witness it and we can go from there.
Currently, I take Imitrex when I feel an impending migraine and I have nausea medication. I do not drive when I have a migraine or I’m experiencing an episode, and I try to stay in the house or wear sunglasses if I have to go outside.
I also try to keep things relatively quiet and try to get as much rest as possible. I drink plenty of fluids and also try to maintain a cool, humid-free environment in my room.
Honestly, I’m not sure if migraines is an accurate diagnosis, but I’m not trying to be continuously poked and prodded. For now, I’m going to continue to take my Magnesium (which helps with headaches) and continue to follow up with my PCP. If anything changes, I’ll write an article update!
Stay healthy, everyone!
