are the migraines. They seem to coincide with the migraines coming first I do believe. I think I have seen all the neurologists this god forsaken town has to offer so am back with just the gp. I am sick and tired of being told "There is no change in the size and/or location of the tumor so there is nothing to worry about" Excuse me? 5 years ago when they found the tumor the migraines where rare and I wasnt having trouble accounting for time. Now am up to at least 3 migraines a week and I have hours that I cant account for . . . seems to me something is WRONG buut then again what the hell do I know. . . .
Sorry just had to get that out Love & Peace Raven Posted on 07/03/08, 08:07 am |

You need to find a neurologist. A better one than your GP. Those headaches and missing time are serious indicators. Look on the web for a Dr. Edward Arenson. He is here in Colorado. Tell him all the details you can about your symptoms and the tumors. I am positive that he will at least refer you to a specialist close to you. This doctor is my doctor and he is considered one of the best in the country. He is also very accessible. Good luck. Stay in touch. I hope someone will listen to you!

I know the feeling that you are talking about. I found out last year I had this tumor and had surgery and I am so sick and tired of the negitivity I get from everyone involved. I had horrible headaches before hand but since surgery and radiation the headaches are more and stronger and sometimes suicidal. I just got told surgery is not an option unless I am dying because I will die if they do another surgery. This has become a more frequent thing the no hope dark gloomy advice. I am sick of hearing it I just want relief of the pain.
