Oh Joyfull Day!
There is a possibility that we might have figured out what is going on with me. As I haven't updated this blog for a while let me try and catch up. I have had unexplained pain on the right side of my abdomen, migraines, numbness and spasm on the limbs on left side of my body, vision trouble and some breathing difficulties. So far I have gone through two MRI's and have another one this Wednesday, I had a spinal tap which I got really sick from and was in bed for a week (couldn't stand up or walk much, horrible nausea and bad headaches and back pain...basically I was a mess and lost about 10 pounds in weight) and I have a slew of other test coming up.
At first my doc thought it was a pinch nerve, then MS (which is still a possibility and I am going for further tests on that theory) also it could be complex migraines. However, after talking to an advice nurse this past Friday regarding me having started my period right after the spinal tap, which was a week and a half early and lasted for 8 days. I had about one day of no period and then I started it again at my regular time. Now neither one of these should have happened since I am on birth control but they did. I thought I might have had a miscarriage and that was why I had ended up so sick after the spinal tap, but the nurse gave me the impression (she didn't want to say it right out since she can't) that it might be my birth control that is causing all of this.
If that is true it would be awesome. I could actually be healthy again and able to have a normal life. YAY! Here's keeping my fingers crossed. I was so relieved to think that that was the answer. I will know more once I see the gyno.
but....YAHOOOO!
