Greg is still suffering from migraines. On Dec 30th he had an MRI of his neck to see if there was anything there causing them. We got the results from the doctor the other day at Greg's appointment. They got good images, but nothing there causing to cause migraines. It did show his bones deteriorating, which the doctor said was normal. In some ways we were happy to hear this, but still unhappy that we still haven't found a reason for the migraines.
Next step: Due to all the meds Greg is on, he has gained weight and doesn't get a good night sleep and has a hard time breathing. While talking to his doctor, he suggested to have sleep study done. The doctor says that sometimes migraines are due to not getting enough oxygen to the brain and not getting into the deep sleep. So now we have it scheduled to go in for a consultation for the sleep study. Then they will determine the time for the sleep study. Greg also has to do some breathing meditation, mainly for his breathing, for about 10 minutes twice a day. We will see how well this goes.

This sounds a lot like what my husband was diagnosed with 2 years ago it is horrible the pain they go through every day, It is called Chiari Malformation. He has type I which is less severe but still very painful and very hard to function some days. Just something to check into.It took us many doctors and tests to get to this conclusion maybe if you ask it will sare you some of the medical expenses we have had to go through to finally get a diagnosis.
