CT Scan Results

[mrspadfoot]

I got my CT scan results this morning. They were "remarkably normal", which is both good and bad.

I'm glad they came back normal, because it ruled out anything neurological, but I'm still left with no answers, and the headaches are more intense.

I have a follow-up with my PCP this week, so hopefully we have another step.

Big hugs Im glad you are getting some answers.

Ugh, that sounds terrible. I'm glad it's not something neurological, though. Hugs to you.

hugs for encouragement, high five for small victories. Glad to hear its not neurological, that must be a relief.

*hugs* I'm glad that it's not neurological. I hope your PCP is able to come up with the answers soon.

Hugs to you. I know it is frustrating to not have answers, but it is good to have some things ruled out. Hope your pcp can help.

I'm sorry. And I hope that this round of no answers is one more step to getting some helpful answers.

Yay for ruling out neurological problems! Random question - have you had an echocardiogram done to check for a PFO? I had a PFO closure done a few years ago and it almost completely stopped my chronic migraines. Sorry for a random lurker jumping in.

T&P for you. I hope you get some answers & positive results soon!!

I have not had any tests yet, aside from the CT scan. We have a family history of an eye disease, so they have been hoping to rule that out (that's a whole other story).

What is a PFO? I'm afraid to google.

I hope this quote works-I'm mobile.

A PFO is a flap on the chamber wall connecting the upper chambers of your heart that doesn't grow closed after birth. (Its is supposed to grow closed after birth but sometimes they don't for whatever reason.) I had mine closed for non-migraine related issues but a common positive side effect can/is usually a decrease in headaches and migraines. I have had 2 migraines in the 4 years since having the surgery (which is out patient too) when I was having up to 10-12 a month.

I hope that makes sense - I have a sick and teething 5 month old.
