Those aren’t migraines.
I’ve been going to a neurologist for a long time. I’ve had migraines since the age of around 11. They’ve never been as bad as some people I know, but they suck all the same. My neurologist suggested back at the end of September that my migraines might be seizures. At first I was in denial. Then I was busy through October and November traveling. Finally at the beginning of December I was able to get an EEG. It took until today to get the follow up appointment because of scheduling shenanigans. I have left temporal epilepsy. That’s really about all I got from the appointment, even though it was over an hour long. Apparently this could be what is causing or exacerbating my learning disability, so uh... that would have been nice to know before now. I’ve been on an anticonvulsant for several years already to treat other things, so that’s been keeping the headaches manageable, but I’ll be coming off that most likely.
This is a lot. There’s a good chance my mom also has it, which sucks. There are more questions I wanted to ask, but couldn’t because being told you have a seizure disorder isn’t conducive to asking smart questions. I also feel like I’m letting my husband down a bit. He didn’t sign up for all this. While I had all these medical problems when we married, he didn’t know that. Nor did I, to be fair.
On the upside because of the break I took I was able to pass my term. My husband also was able to find a new job as well, and I’m super proud of him. <3
