Hey all!
Got a copy of my discharge notes posted to me in the mail...

Finally I've got a "formal" diagnosis of hemi-pegic migraine... we finally know what on earth is going on!! and the neurology team is investigating the possibility of petit mal epilepsy (whatever that is)

Had to post that on here... I'm so chuffed to finally know what is going on in my body... and now hopefully I can learn new ways of how to deal with it!!

Thanks guys! for just being awesome!!

Smile... it makes people wonder what you're thinking about

Kiwi,

That's great news! And, your optimistic attitude is awesome!

Have your doctors told you what the next step for you is?

Good luck and keep us posted, okay?

Isn't it wonderful to finally have a diagnosis! Come join your fellow HM suffers in the Hemiplegic folder. We have a thread there called "Stop in - Introduce yourselves".

Let us know what they find out about the epilepsy (seizures). I too have seizures with my HM, but after all the testing they found mine was non-epileptic (yes!).

Wishing you a pain-free day, Tonya

Hello!

Please forgive me if you've seen this link before, but we do have information on Hemiplegic Migraine right HERE if you would like to read about your diagnosis.

Isn't it such a relief when you finally know that what it is that is going on with your body has a name!? I was so happy to finally have my diagnosis because that means finally medications and treatments that may help me!

I am so happy you now know your diagnosis! Now, to find medications and treatments that work!

So maybe, just maybe, all that fooforah of a hospital visit paid off a little? I'm glad something good came of it all for you. Smiler
