hey I have thesame type of migraines.I am 14 years old and my doctor can't find the cause.he says it's puberty but I've told them that I got them when I was younger aswell I think he thinks I'm doing it for attention.when I have an attack I have a 20mg shot of imigran that my doctor prescribed me. it helps alot. The shot blocks alot of the pain and makes you drousy. it's very good u should give it ago.
Thank you for your input, however this is not an issue. I do have appointment with yet another doctor. My mother is a nurse and is dumb founded that they have not checked something in my neck. I don't understand what she is talking about. Hopefully this visit will be my last, at the very least calm my mother down, just found out her younger sister has a weird strain of cancer and now I'm worried the stress this all is causing my mother.
Check your dental work for a bad root canal.
My dentist didn't even look close enough to see, but another doctor finally looked at this and saw the problem. In a bad root canal, you have no feeling, so it goes untreated. For about 10 years, mine had caused infection which went into my lymph gland and meningal system. Every few weeks due to just normal circulation, it would cause a swelling in my brain which would result in mild seizures. For years I didn't even consider them seizures because usually they were so mild that they resembled migraines. I even considered "silent" migraines because they were normally painless. Over the years, MRIs, CT scans, etc were all normal. Finally I had an "episode" at work where I was unresponsive for about 3 minutes, only a slight shaking of my wrist. They had to send me to the ER, I had to be cleared with the DMV to drive - even though I had been driving without any problems for years (20+). The good thing was that this trip to the ER resulted in an MRI right then and there where my brain was swollen at the time and the doctor saw it and told me about it.
From there, I was referred to a very senior doctor who even teaches at the medical college. He instantly diagnosed me as epileptic and put me on a drug. (Another through the revolving door of his drugged patients.) He didn't know what to do with me when I had the most horrendous side effects so he wouldn't return my calls.
Anyway, my other doctors (at the Center for Advanced Medicine, Encinitas, CA), saw that my root canal had gone bad and two weeks later I had it pulled. NO REOCCURENCE of these seizures. NO meds since the antibiotics that I took to take care of the infection.
Dr. Kellas and Dr. Drucker will tell you that it isn't a matter of "if" but of "when" a root canal will go bad. People have wound up in wheelchairs due to complications of these infections wreaking havoc in their bodies! Check this out and I hope you find what is ailing you. It's SO frustrating when the tests keep coming back "normal."
NO - You're not going crazy! They're just looking in all the wrong places. Let me know if this helps. My prayers are with you.
