Neurologist

I saw the the Neurologist, headache specialist yesterday; it didnt go quite as i expected i think i had pinned all my hopes on some miracle cure.. after three years of constant 24/7 migraine i suppose its kinda of understandable.

I had some neurological tests done.. eg look at my finger.. shine a light in your eyes to look at blood vessels etc and take my history. he said that i had "constant daily migraines" which turn into migraines from certain triggers... apparently there are no medications other than topiramate which i am already on.

He did recommend Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 200mg a day as that can help migraines but that was basically it. No follow up appointments nothing else.. i was rather disappointed i should have learnt after three years of suffering of not to get my hopes up :-(

We bought some Vitamin B2 on the way home and i started taking it today but apparently it can take a little time to start working.. fingers crossed..

I don't think much else has been going on, the Wheelchair dept hasn't contacted me again which is a good thing.

I have got an appointment to have the whole of my right ingrowing toenail removed just after we come back from our holiday in September. I am still having problems with my other toenail on the left and had to have it quarterized last week..

My Vitamin D level is at about 72 which is still lower than usual but higher than it has been in a couple of years.. i think it was about 25 at one point. Those super vitamin D tablets seem to have worked even if my GP did get in trouble for giving them to me as they were £1000 a course!!
