Question: New symptoms...doc says Migraines changing...when to be concerned?

Answer:

Hello,

Our Migraine patterns CAN change over time, and there's no definitive reason that can be given for it. You're obviously still concerned, so maybe you'd feel better about it if you got a second opinion.

We always need to let our doctors know when our Migraines change. If you notice any weakness on one side or if your symptoms don't clear up when the Migraine is over, be especially certain to notify your doctor right away.

We walk a bit of a delicate line with Migraine disease. We certainly don't want to run to the doctor all the time "just for Migraine symptoms," but it's important to be safe, too. So, whenever you have doubts, talk it over with your doctor or get a second opinion.

Good luck,
Teri Robert John Claude Krusz
