Yesterday was my appointment with the Neurologist. I was really worried about meeting with him. I was afraid of what we were going to find out. He did assure me I do not have MS. That was a huge fear. As I have watched my cousin suffer and lose quality of life with this disease. 


My condition is Complicated Migraines. Apparently when I was sick last year, it changed the way my migraines happen. Now instead of only having the normal miserable migraine symptoms, I have stroke like and other neurological symptoms. The biggest ones being sharp stabbing pains in my feet and hands, memory loss, and lack of concentration. I also get numbness. These migraines are very frequent, so he is putting me on a preventative medication.


I get to go see him again in two months and follow up. Now to get through my cardiology appointment. 


I am having a really rough day today, probably due to the long trip to the cardiologist. I think  my work may fire me, but I have turned in all the FMLA paperwork. I also reached a point about 3 weeks ago, where I decided finally my health is much more important than my job. We are living with my mother so I do have a place to live. 


I just wanted to share this news with you. Keep smiling.
