sister update. again.
just a recap - sister had headaches for 2 weeks straight (now going on 4th week), eye dr. said her optical nerve is elevated, got MRI and catscan done and nothing showed up, her blood pressure is very low, white blood cell count is elevated, and she is anemic. '
ok so, my sister had her follow up with her primary care physician yesterday. he told her she is suffering from migraines. she is not happy with his diagnosis as she can't believe she could have a migraine for now 1 month straight (she had one pain free day last week). she is taking all of her results and seeing a neurologist soon. the neurologist is actually her son's friend's dad (got that?) and she knows him very well so hopefully it is just migraines and she is just being cautious! the eye dr. does want her to come back in 2 months to see if there is any change in the elevated optical nerve. her eye dr. would like to keep an eye on it to make sure it is not getting any worse.
thanks for all your thoughts. i am glad it is nothing serious thus far!
Re: sister update. again.
I'm glad she's taking the next step and seeing a neurologist to hopefully rule out anything more serious. You can never be too cautious with your health!
I know your sister and I shared similar symptoms, although hers seemed more severe, but I find it a bit strange since I too suffer from migraines and after my recent issues had my doctor prescribe me a different migraine medication that seems to be working better. And now recently I have been thinking that I need to see an eye dr. since my vision (at times) is not what it used to be. Does your sister have any previous eye problems, meaning wears glasses or contacts?
