I just went and saw my regular doctor about the hospital thing and the migraines.
She is not sure it was a seizure. Asked if I would do a drug test. I made sure she had a list of my medications, and said sure.
So we will see what that comes up with.
I told her I thought it was Arava in combination with the other medications. She said Arava wouldn't do that by itself, but nobody really knows in combo with the other medications.
She did say that the hospital should have kept me on the lyrica, and that abruptly stopping it by the 3 day migraine, then the hospital refusing to give it to me COULD have done what they saw, MAYBE.
She did schedule an EEG for Thurs morning.
I don't know if we will EVER know what happened. I actually had to GO to medical records to request the paperwork. NINE calls were NEVER returned. I have caller ID on every phone and had NO unidentified calls. So they didn't even TRY to call. But I went there, filled stuff out, and will see what I see.
My reg doctor had SOME of the records, was appalled that they wouldn't call her during the day (at night they only call the doctor on call, but during the next day when I asked them to call my reg doctor, the nurse flat out REFUSED).
I am confused. But at least I know what will show up in the drug scan, and I do have a new medication to prevent the migraines, and a sample of the new triptan - TREXIMET. It is a blue pill, came in a funky package that is a neat pill box. Will be a fun container to recycle (and relabel, of course).
Anyway, I wanted to keep you all updated. I will let you know what the EEG says. The doctor doubts that they will find seizures.
