I think I beat a migraine!

Oh, I kinda knew they were from caffine-withdrawl, and the blood-vessels expanding and pressure dropping harder than a dubstep bass-drop...

I just forgot my mother's side of the family had a history of diabetic comas and glaucoma.
-And my father's side has insanely low BP.

Another possability is that oft-joked about anyerism.

I would see a doctor if I believed that they would do anything about it. Unfortunately when I passed out that day, (even though I have a family history of strokes), the doctor said it was completely normal for a teenager to pass out once or twice a year, and I've had eye exams yearly for 6 years now with the doctors only even mentioning glaucoma the last time I went.

Don't completely rely on doctors. My dad had a heart condition and his Aorta was blocked at 80% and they said he was fine. He got angina attacks while rested or seated, not while doing physical activity, just like me. Second doctor he saw said it was about time he got there cause the next heart attack would have killed him. The thing that saved him was the years he spent at the gym and working on his cardio reinforced his heart.

Yes, doctors are 50/50 chance of just looking the other way and hoping it won't bite them on the ass, becasue they have paperwork to prove they looked.

That's awful! D=

I was misdiagnosed with aortic valve problems and I had to go through a full day of testing and doctor's notes and such. I couldn't imagine actually having a problem with my aorta.

Also I was misdiagnosed with scoliosis while one of my legs was shorter than the other. They were going to give me back surgery to, "correct," the problem. Luckily I didn't have any insurance so they referred me to Shriners Children's Hospital in Massachusets.

Tell me about it. =w='

The world needs more clever doctors.

We've got plenty of decent nurses and doctors that parrot the doctor that taught them to a T.

But clever doctors are hard to find.

Some may even say.. there can only be one....

Wow, I actually have scoliosis, it's 8% titled to the right. Cause my left leg is a couple millimeters longer. Doctor's said it's gonna get worse as I get older. I've already hurt my back so many times, I wish I could get a bionic one. Fucking hurts all the time. I have to take arthritis pills.

So a few times every month I'll get a migraine. It always starts with me losing my vision and then I get nauseous along with the horrible headache that migraines are associated with.

Well I've noticed that when my vision starts getting wonky there will be a pain in my head somewhere. If I find the point on my head, and rub where it hurts the most, my migraine normally gets less painful when it starts.

So today I took some pain meds and found an extremely painful point on my head a little while after I lost sight. Then I waited until my vision just barely started to return and I rubbed the spot for a while. It's been 50 minutes since I lost sight and still no sign of nausea or a headache!

That...sounds more like a serious health issue than a regular migraine.

Doctors kill more people than guns every year.

I had surgery at Shriners because my left leg was an inch bigger than my right leg. I too had all kinds of back problems. After my first visit at the hospital though, they gave me a lift in my shoe so my legs were equal length for a while before surgery.

Worked like a charm.

Damn, let's drink together and blag about our backs issues. Yep, I've had some but I lost 'em and I haven't bothered getting new ones.
