Ok, so the young doctor may have been a mistake - I was getting desperate (not desperate enough for the ER, but pretty desperate).
However, I'm feeling good about the neurologist. I know I just picked him out of the phone book, and maybe it's desperation talking again, but I think I have a good feeling about him. Hope springs eternal, right?
Also I just found a plastic surgeon in Provo who does Botox injections for migraine treatment and I'm really excited about it. I had ran across him before, but I sort of ignored him. Then I learned he does migraine surgery as well so I started looking into him more. The Botox is just to determine which nerves are the cause of the pain so he knows which one(s) he needs to do surgery on.
I still need a lot more information on him, sounds like the surgery may be different than what the Midwest Doctor does, and I have a consultation with him later this month. Possibly even some Botox injections if he/we/I can identify which nerves he/we/I are pretty sure are the problem. Oh yeah, I've got this one!
Oh my Maria. That is just terrible. I had no idea that you were deal with this kind of stuff. So sorry. I sometimes get migraines around my monthly visitor, and it sucks. I'm out of commission and can't function. I can only begin to imagine what it would be like to have a constant one, day in and day out. And look at the trooper you are, going to school and everything. You're amazing. Simply amazing!
