Again.
When I was 11 I had a lot of trouble with headaches so my mother took me to the GP, he said it sounded like migraines and he would refer me onto my paediatrcian just to be sure. Went onto him and he confirmed that I was suffering from migraines and that I should keep a food diary to figure out the trigger. Somewhere along the line I was prescribed preventatives, and was moved from the sunny side of the classroom. Never did keep that food diary correctly.
I then went to a locombe doctor to get my preventatives to go on holiday one time. I knew light and heat were at least one trigger, and she decided it wasn't migraines at all and refused to give me the prescription.
I've continued to suffer from headaches, always. Then last summer I had a horrible headache, intense pain for almost 10days running, and I'm not one to usually take pain killers, but I really had to. They didn't work. So I visited the doctor and after a month or so I got a neurologist referral. In between last summer and the neuro I had a lot of painkillers, and nothing really worked. I was diagnosed with migraines at the neurologist appointment. That means every day of the week I have a migraine. SO much fun. Not.
It's gonna take over 6months of taking preventatives to even get it back to the normal amount of migraine. I have to have a CT scan, and be tested for asthma again. Also been told I need to lose a little weight. Oh, joy. I am lethargic from my medical condition on just a normal days work!
