We got Rich's MRI results last week. He has a configuration of blood vessels in the occipital (back) of his brain that has had a small bleed--possibly from the meds he has been trying. This is compared to an MRI in '94. (On the Imitrex commercial on TV it will say "This is not for persons who may have blood vessel abnormalities, etc.")
We have a neurosurgeon appt on Tues. But I feel sure they will now carefully limit the meds he can try. Who know what else we are facing? Have been told the bleed has nothing to do with headache. One dr. disagrees.
We have heard about a place in Michigan--can't remember where. Does anyone know about it? Obviously we can't just do the regular headache thing now. We live in Central Florida, but at this point are willing to go anywhere. If anyone knows about this Michigan place or anywhere else where they would specialize in what Rich needs, we would be grateful.
Thank you so much for all your support!!!!!
