Hi everyone, nice to meet you. New here..I am a 37 y/o with new onset of daily migraines. I've had them off/on my whole life. I've had every test, awaiting referral to Ryan Headache Clinic in st charles, missouri. My dr is supposed to put a rush on it and get me in very soon. I have a question though-has anybody had a problem with increased migraines,up to full body tremors (muscle spasms) very painful, problems with speech, problems with balance and walking, facial pain and numbness, dilated pupils(sometimes just one)....with taking a seizure med as preventative and paxil...I've questioned 2 neurologists now and they both say no, not a problem...but theses got sooo much worse after they put me on depakote and then topamax. I'm off all meds now, including daily paxil. I for sure thought I had a sponatenous spinal fluid leak by my symptoms that majorily increase if I'm not laying flat-all tests of that sort have been inconclusive, "we're not sure but we aren't going to do a blood patch to fix it yet." I am going to lose my job and I'm a nurse to boot....sigh, all suggestions appreciated!! Thanks again! (Also non smoker, non drinker and no other meds of any kind, no herbals, nothing)
