Woke up this morning with a whole new outlook on life. Had my appointment yesterday with the Neurologist for my migraines and she was amazing! She was so in-depth on everything! Lots of explanations and tons of options! I was told that yes I have migraines but there is underlying causes. I have sleep apnea which is why I have been having so many issues with my memory and disorientation. I also have Cervical Dystonia which is the biggest cause of my migraines. She has placed me on new meds that will help with migraine prevention as well as weight loss. Took my first pill last night and over the next 3 weeks will be increasing the dosage. It knocked me on my ass last night and I had the best night sleep that Ive had in a long time! I go back in 5 weeks and at that time she may be putting injections in my neck. She has put me on a sugar free and diary free diet for 5 weeks and I told her about my new exercise bike which she was thrilled that it is a recumbent one since I need to not stress my neck at all.
So last night and this morning I put together my new bike and I love it! The exercise is easy, the bike is super quiet, my only complaint is the seat is uncomfy but Im gonna see if I can find either memory foam or a gel seat to help. The Doctor seems to think that within 2 months I will see a huge difference in my size due to this plan of action. We did talk about weight loss surgery but she said it was a bad idea since most people who have migraines and have that surgery end up in such severe pain from migraines in the future that it isn't worth it.
I feel more energy and upbeat already! I feel happier and I think it is the hope and the good nights sleep that is the cause!
