I'm pretty worried about Blair.

She gets migraines from time to time; bad enough, and frequently enough, that she has a prescription medication for migraine medicine. Lately, though, she has been getting them almost every day, and that is... not good, and not normal. She's completely taken out by the migraine and then completely taken out in a different way by the medicine she has to take to treat it.

She's going to try to work with her doctor to figure out what's happening and what to do about it, and in the meantime, she's going to take a week-long leave of absence from school and work. What I'm worried most about is the knowledge that she has (has had, for a few years now) a small brain tumor. So far as they know it's benign and she's been on prolactin to shrink it (which is working). Still.

Worried.

On a completely different note, does anyone here use the Finch app? Let me know if you do, so we can be friends!

I 100% understand your worries about Blair. I felt the same when I learned about my spouse's prolactinoma; they've been taking cabergoline--which they are now even slowly tapering off (due to menopausal things, and it seems to have dried out by now). It's excellent news that the nasty thing is shrinking! That's what it's supposed to do. 💪 Keep on hanging on!!

I totally get being worried. Migraines alone are bad but with her history, you have a right to be concerned. I hope the doctor is able to figure it out soon!

I hope Blair's doctor can come up with a better treatment for her soon!
