Doctors appointments

So, because of the big migraine in November, I have a follow up appointment in Neurology. She was not particularly impressed with the situation and told us that I would just have to "grow out of" migraines. That would be when I hit menopause which according to my mother will be in approximately 15 years. That would be nice. However, I did noticed that the date was the exact same date from 5 years ago. So, that would mean on November 8, 2014, 2019 and possibly in 2024, I'd better just stay in bed for the day. She wants me to continue on the Verapamil at half dose to prevent any other fainting episodes. She also said I need to stop taking Ibuprofen if I have a whiff of headache pain. That will be a new practice for me. I'm so afraid of going into full blown headache/migraine that if I have even the smallest pain, I dose myself. Several times a week. You never think it's bad for you to do it. Other people, yes, not for me. Apparently, I was getting the rebound effect and not really realizing it. Okay, we'll see how this goes, but I'm not promising anything. The other thing she mentioned that there was no reason from her perspective that pregnancy should be avoided. Not that we're planning on anything, but you just never know. Maybe later this year??? I also got to have an MRI right after the MD appointment. Apparently, I have a brain that is normal, again. Which is good. Off to the next appointment with my OB/GYN. He doesn't have anything to add, necessarily. Will see him again next year. He just laughed when I told him we had decided to stop the BCP all together due to Dr. Carroll telling us about the massive weight gain he has seen in the past and assured me that he's not seen it that much but it's up to us. He does caution that the family planning method fails most of the time. Hopefully, it doesn't for us.
