Quick update

I finally met with the neurologist on Friday morning and in a word, I was disappointed. 

After reviewing my tests, he is not completely convinced that seizures are the problem. If that's true, it would be an answered prayer. However, it still leaves the question- then what is all of this? 
He adjusted my medication, weaning me off one anti convulsive and putting me on another that will hopefully serve a dual purpose-stop any seizures and treat my migraines. I go back in a month to see what the changes yielded. 

My migraines and I are way too familiar. We had them under somewhat of control, but since all of this started happening, they are back and worse than before. I feel I have taken a huge step back in time. Migraine history repeating itself. 
I spent all day and night yesterday with a horrible migraine, but today it is better. I am grateful for that at least, because today is Natalie's first prom and I want to enjoy every minute. 
I will share my deeper thoughts about the doc visit later. I am putting that aside for today!

So sorry for your disappointment. Hope the medication helps both. It can be so frustrating when there are no clear answers, Praying God will give you wisdom about any other steps you might need to take.
