Update: Nurse finally called

He said they ARE complex migraines. They usually go hand and hand with people who suffer from complex seizures.

He said the doctor thinks that the reason they've gotten so bad is because of where I am in my Pregnancy. I asked about the memory loss and distorted vision and his response was that "these migraines suck" and many people who get them are sometimes mistaken for being drunk.

Basically, my body is fighting having a seizure and the activity has to manifest somehow. So my body chose migraine.

They are lowering my dosage by 50mg. They think part of the contribution was that they raised my meds too quickly.

  • That stinks but at least you have answers. I hope you feel better soon!

  • @ream02 - thanks! I feel okay today. Wednesday was rough. This is happening about once a week since the start of second tri. I'll take migraines over seizures any day of the week though. Especially since my seizures can cut off oxygen to the brain temporarily, which would be HORRIBLE for LO.

  • @pennstated912 at least there is a positive to the negative side of a migraine. :o)  Hope the seizures continue to stay away for sake of you and baby!

    sorry I missed your posts yesterday. Work is kicking my a$$ this week.

  • Oh, man. I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. I'm glad they are complex migraines and not seizures, but it can't be fun! I hope lowering the dosage of your medicine does the trick. ((HUGS))

  • Glad you got answers and I am sorry for the migraines but so glad to hear they aren't seizures. Hopefully lowering the dosage helps. My migraines started around 16 weeks I think. I'm sorry you are going through this *hugs*
