My experience-Just need to rant
So, I'm a young person (21) who's had migranes for years. They started when I was about 15, so I'm a dab hand at recognising when I have one.
But over the past 6 or so months, they've been getting worse. The doctors have run so many tests on me to try and figure it out. They've finally taken it seriously because my symptoms have evolved so they now mimic the symptoms of a stroke. (It's not, they've cleared that up)
But my symptoms are so severe at times, that they've now created a lasting effect. More specifically, the feeling in my leg has dropped from 100% to around 70-80% on a good day. When I have a severe attack, I lose all feeling in my right hand side, and lose most of the function in my right hand.
Now, I've also told my mum about this issue because I live at home, and she'd probably need to know. My mum also suffers from Migranes, but only rarely. She also has a disability which means she needs to use a mobility aid. (This will be important In a second)
I've gotten to the point now where the weakness and loss of feeling in my leg has left me unable to walk further than around my house. My balance is shot and I have to look at the floor when I walk, otherwise I'll fall or kick something or trip over something because I can't walk straight and I also won't register it as quickly as I used to be able to. The effort it takes me to just walk 'normally' is insane, so I'm constantly tired.
Anyway, I told my mum and she seems to think I'm making it sound worse than it is, so I don't have to go get my meds. Not true at all. She also said that " I can walk around the house, so it must not be that big of an issue" and that " Just because you can't feel your leg properly doesn't mean you can't walk at all". I never said it did, I said it stops me being able to walk properly or longer distances, which my doctors is a pretty fair distance to walk, even after taking a bus there.
I'm just annoyed that my mum, of all people, is brushing off my problem. Considering she uses an aid to walk and also suffers from migranes, I would've thought she would've understood.
