In reply to menstrual migraines or epilepsy? so frustrated!, posted by bookgurl99 on July 8, 2003, at 13:15:35
I guess my biggest fear is of 'permanent neurological changes.' Because I have had permanent visual changes that may be related to migraine, and because I had one severe attack last year that left me somewhat cognitively disabled for a time(had trouble with automatic things even, like even using a fancy cable remote control, severity lasted less than a week, but SCARY.),I fear having another one where the symptoms don't go away.
My attention span seems much worse than it once did, so I fear that these migraine attacks are robbing my little brain cells. Is this logical? I hope that it's not -- my friends say I seem really normal to them; my girlfriend says maybe I'm not as fast as I used to be but still smart, so . . maybe I'm hyper-focusing on small things. But STILL -- it would be nice to have my eyes focus well, and for my attention span to be strong once more.
