Migraines

So it seems my migraine pain is beginning to present itself daily! I was used to having a few days where it wasn't so bad, but now that seems to be in the past.

I know a lot of research on migraine sufferers shows that most patients get lesions on their brain cause from damage sustained from the actual migraine. Now I can't for the life me understand why they won't do a simple procedure on the heart when they know a lot of documentation points to relief of migraines. That would mean there was a greater chance of reducing migraine frequency, if not eliminating them all together. I have a theory about the after images I experience. I believe it is secondary to the migraines. I believe migraines have caused this and it may be in fact permanent. The reason I believe this is because most research with the disorder points to lesions on the brain. Katy experiences this phenomenon still. While she says it isn't anywhere near as much as she had it before, it is still occasionally there. Now could it be possible that these lesions can heal on their own?? Who knows? The fact that she said hers are now better is a good sign. I know she still experiences migraines at times, but she assures me they are not as frequent as the daily ones she used to have.

So how am I feeling today? Hopeful..... yet nervous. Isn't it strange to hear a person say "I hope they find a hole in my heart!" ?

That is exactly what I am hoping for. That is how I get to my next step. I hope that if and when I get readers... that they.... "You", will take some advice or get something out of this blog. While you may at this moment feel like you are all alone with this so called "Rare" disorder... you are not. My goal is to let that be known. My best advice is... Be your own advocate. Most dr's have no clue about what we experience, there fore it is in our best interest to research everything on our own and document everything. Stay strong!!
