Saw the Neurologist today re: headaches.
Doctor says they are a combination of migraine & chronic tension headaches.
Will have an MRI on Wednesday to make sure there is nothing in my brain that shouldn't be there (eg. crayons?) and hopefully everything's there that should be (eg. brain)!
Assuming that the MRI is uneventful, I will start taking some antidepressant that is actually no longer used as an antidepressant but is now used as a muscle relaxant. (Silly me didn't ask why it's no longer used as an antidepressant & now that question is killing me - also forgot the name of the drug so I can't check it out). Anyway, the Doc says it will hopefully be used short term to kick the chronic cycle & I won't have to stay on it for too long (not sure what "too long" is either). I have a follow up appointment on Thursday so hopefully all will be revealed then.
Obviously the Inderal (??) isn't working or I would be happy to stay on that.
Anyway, DH 'told me so' that I would have to have an MRI (genius, I know), and he 'told me so' that I should be seeing a shrink instead of a neurologist (apparently the fact I am likely to be prescribed an antidepressant is vindication that he was right???) so now he thinks he missed his calling as a neurologist. (Yeah, apparently that's all it takes ;-)
I'm just hoping that the MRI shows I really do have a brain & then I can say to him "I TOLD YOU SO !!! "
Mopping up the remains of my mind.

Please tell Mr Husband Neurologist that Mummy McT says based on our phone conversations it's he who needs the shrink. I'd also get them to check for marbles, aparently we are all supposed to have a certain number of marbles and if they fall out it can cause problems.
PS I have tagged you for a biblical meme. Info on my blog:)
Hope they find something - I mean I hope they find the cause of the migraines and can fix it without too much trouble.
I had a MRI for my migraines and there was 'nothing' there. (Considering that this was done after I had my 6th child I wasn't surprised. I think a little bit had come back now.)
Isn't is amazing how husbands always know these things?
