My Story…
September 24 2019. I suddenly got a bad headache, nausea, neck pain and dizziness… I didn’t think anything of it… I went home and went to bed. The next morning Sept 25 2019 I woke up with the worse pain in my head, neck, and back I have ever experienced in my life. My head was very heavy, it was hard to keep it up, There was also a lot of pressure it in as well. I was vomiting Also, my left leg had pins and needles at the time. I end up going to the hospital They do a CT of the brain, an EKG & a lumbar puncture to rule out meningitis. Everything comes back negative. I get admitted for two days for observation and get sent home with a neurologist follow up.
October 1st, 2019. I end up going back to the emergency room. The same pain I had progressive had come back worse each day and 10/1 it came back 10x worse. I was unable to put pressure on my left leg and ended up going back to the hospital with the same symptoms but more severe. I get readmitted for two days this time. They do a whole bunch more tests, however, everything came back unremarkable
I had the following tests done and all were unremarkable.
MRI Brain MRI C Spine CT Venogram Brain CT CTA Head & Brain CT Brain MRI T Spine Blood Patches CT Myelogram MRI Myelogram
Since then, I have tried almost every medicine possible... trying to get medicines approved though the insurance and dealing with bad side effects with little relief. I have also tried botox and nerve blocks. I was at a lost.. There wasn't much more for me to try.
I am thankful that I was able to try Ketamine infusions and that has been a life changer for me.
I will be forever thankful to the Miles for Migraine community for all the support they have given me over the past years.
