Jan - classic migrane is described as being on one side. In fact for years, they didn't accept that you could have them on both sides. They do now - I could have told them because I get both-side migraines.
It's not the place of the pain, one sided or not. It's not even the intensity. It's more the type of pain. Migraines are stabbing, throbbing. Headache means just that, an ache. I think you had a migraine. Sounds like the mask could have brought it on. I'm glad the test is over at any rate, and although you stil don't have answers, you know it's not a sleep problem and won't have to shuck out the big bucks for the CPAP equipment. GJ - More donuts?  I'm still leary of new meds. I've had a few scares. But nothing in this one sent up red flags. So somebody has to try this stuff so the rest of you know, right? May as well be me. Cuz I'm cool and that's how I roll, lol. (I've been saying that ever since that thread.)  Rachael - I'm glad to hear you found a good neuro! Yaknow, when I first started in limbo, I wanted answers yesterday too. I get it. We're used to that though. We always went to the doc, and he told us what was wrong and generally fixed it. This is a whole new game, and it takes time to figure it out. That is why we do this check in thing, and why this board is SO cool. Without these people, I don't know how I would have gotten through that time. I would have lost my mond, lol. This is hard, but you will find you're stronger than you thought and you will be okay. When you feel like you're losing your grip, you just yell out, and we're right here, okay? Debbie - You may want to ask if an MRA would help rule out ischemia. It's like an MRI of the blood vessels. I had one along with my 1st MRI, and it showed I had no vascular changes. They did it because at the time my chief complaint was migraines - they thought I'd had a stroke or tumor, the migraines were so bad. Just an idea. And I hope you have an awesome time in Hawaii. I think we should all go, as PT or something.  McG - I owed you some beer? Here ya go. Good luck at the neuro. And hey - I played my guitar today! The grandbaby sang along to some Bob Dylan. Aw, she is TOO much like me.
