Told you So

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 !!! "
