My Wife Has Been Having Them For Years Now And
My wife has been having them for years now and has never found a medication for prevention that worked but they were just something she suffered through.
Just over a year ago she started to have a Migraine. This one was nothing like any of her previous Migraines. The over the past year have varied in location of the head and type of pain associated with the Migraine.
Three days later she woke up completely blind in one eye. Doctors have diagnosed her as Optic Neuritis
to date we have seen an
ophthalmologist
Neuroophthalmologist
Neurologist Dr. Carol
Pain Management
To date she has had the following procedures and test.
Lumbar Puncture at least two times
CAT scans of complete spine and head (Multiple times)
MRI scans of complete spine and head (multiple times)
Numerous rounds of blood work.
3 Hospital stays of about a week each for IV infusions.
2 Rounds of Botox injections.
Probably a dozen or more nerve blocks
Probably allot more that I am not thinking of.
Her current Neurologist has told us that there is nothing more that she can do. She is currently on some pretty strong pain medication. Fentanyl 75mg along with Ultram and some other new one that was recently prescribed. I need to find someone who can help her find out what is going on and give us some answers.
