My experience-Migraines with rapidly-changing symptoms. Any ideas?
I know this isn't a medical advice subreddit, but I'm at a loss. 28/F.
From 2019 to 2022, I had three migraines, about one per year, with aura that were limited to a blind spot, then scintillating scotoma. This February, I had a migraine with aura where I got the aforementioned symptoms, along with aphasia, progressive numbness, and a headache at the back of my head. Two weeks ago, I had a migraine with the blind spot and scintillating scotoma, then a really bad headache I needed to go to the ER for.
I've just been coming off the postdrome for that migraine (my postdromes are very lengthy), but two days ago, my neck suddenly became really stiff and sore (soreness was a throbbing pain, mainly in my left side and it even moved my left arm whenever I held it out), then I got a strange new kind of visual aura where I lost my lower-right peripheral vision, and the scintillating scotoma wasn't shaped like a crescent moon (as it usually is), but just a big blob. Still dealing with the neck pain today, and I have a bad headache.
Is it normal for symptoms to jump around this much? And for the migraines to escalate in frequency until they're happening so close together, without a history of that? I've had an MRI scan of my brain to query MS, it came back negative. When I went to the ER, they basically said to take a high dose of tylenol + advil together, but that hasn't really helped the neck soreness or headache. No idea what the next steps are, or what to check for.
I do know my cholesterol is slightly elevated; I've been taking extra fiber supplements for the last couple of months.
TIA for any tips. I'm a bit nervous about all this.
