Alright, doctor booked for this stupid migraine thing. Gonna get the physio to take a look as well.
Mine came from a shoulder injury.
thats just it, no new injury or anything like that I'm aware of. So I figured getting assessed isnt a bad idea.
That's definitely a good idea mate. Also I would press for an MRI as well. For peace of mind.
Getting assessed it a great idea! In my early 20s I had months of chronic exploding head migraines, auras, blindness, vomiting from pain. Had an MRI and CT scan with nothing there. Dr gave me a big fat script for codeine - I understand why people get addicted to it, let's put it that way.
Determined it was stress induced from living with my unmedicated schizophrenic mum ๐ haven't had them like that since I moved out and went NC. There so many factors that can cause migraines, so getting checked out is always a fantastic idea!
Fingers crossed it's nothing serious!! ๐๐
Good plan. I've had MRIs, CTs, a lumbar puncture and all sorts of fun. And regular eye tests are worthwhile- apparently weird eye pressure can manifest in interesting ways.
They've never found anything useful on all my tests but it's always good to know it's 'just' migraine and not a brain tumor or something exciting like that. And there are better migraine drugs coming out now.
