I am new to the site. I have had migraine for 20 plus years, but they were resently lasting longer and getting more severe. My previous doctor retired and my new physician suggested I get an MRI.
I procrastinated several months, then after another 3-day headache, scheduled one. I honestly didn't think anything would be found, so didn't worry much about it until two days ago.
My dr. called and left a message that she had been trying to contact me for several weeks, and my phone was always busy. My MRI was abnormal and the following things were found. 1) I have a Chiari (sp?) 2) a chronic sinus infection with a cyst over my left eye, and evidence of bleeding in the brain.
I am schedule for a MRA early next week, and am to schedule an appointment with both a neurologist and neurosurgeon. This is very upsetting and I feel like I was hit out of the blue. I honestly didn't expect the MRI to show anything.
Anyway, this sounds like a good place to get support, get questions answered and learn from others experiences.
