About two months ago, I went to have two urgent brain MRIs done. These were due to exertional headaches. This topic is TMI heavy, so please only click to keep reading if you are okay with that.

I want to give everyone an update on whatโs going on. Today I went to the neurologist because Iโm having โexertion headachesโ (look up thunderclap headaches caused by exertion and itโs probably caused exactly by what youโre thinking.)
A couple of you (well, three) know details. Itโs not so much that Iโm embarrassed of the particulars I just donโt want to expose people to details they donโt want to hear.
ANYWAY. I was hoping for the doctor to reassure me, instead she was concerned, baffled by the fact that I havenโt had an MRI ever consider Iโm an epileptic, and mentioned that my โexertion headacheโ isnโt normal. Itโs very localized and it lasts too long. She wanted me to have two MRI done like, NOW. Now now. Started calling every place nearby to find a place that could see me immediately. So thatโs a great feeling. /s
And now here I go all by myself and I canโt begin to tell you how much I wish I could have my husband with me, itโs never great to see a neurologist worried. Plus she said the reflexes on the right side of my body are a little weaker (thatโs the side of my head I have the headaches on, in my temple.)
So yeah this sucks royally. Gonna keep you all as posted as possible.
