In reply to Medlib-info please?, posted by Cynthia M on May 28, 2000, at 19:58:22
> Medlib- you were right about the masochism!!! I have spent the last two hours searching the jama site and have found reference to aphasia and vertigo .. I am trying to find any mention of pupil dialation in migraine.. if you have any idea where you may have found this could you give me the site please... interestingly enough I gave my daughter a dose of my migraine medication , fioricet, and she is feeling better... SaraT thanks for the great info the mention in this article of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome just about shocked me off my chair.. I have this and it is rarely mentioned as a lot of poeple have no idea what it is... my daughter has tested ANA positive which leads me to believe that she is dealing with a lot of the same autoimmune make-up that I have..thank you so much for your time and trouble...now I just need to find info on pupil dialation in migraine headaches. Thanks again...Cynthia M
Cynthia - an infarction is a stroke. A complicated
migraine is a migraine that causes a stroke.
From Sara's post it sounds like ANA is a risk factor.If your daughter is STILL experiencing clear cut
symptoms you need to call up your doctor and explain
what you think is going on and see if you can't get her
checked out immediately - by a neurologist.It's not important to find out whether dilated pupils
go with migraines - I can tell you they do. But right
now you have to call your doctor and tell him what you
think is going on.Also you CAN'T go giving medications to your daughter
without checking with your doctor - she's already
on two psychotropic medications, and you have no
idea if there are interactions with the fioricet.
There probably aren't but you have to be careful!!!Same thing goes with stopping the Paxil - you need
to check with her doctor, who'll probably
tell you to do it gradually if at all. Abruptly stopping an
antidepressant can cause a withdrawal reaction.I know your doctor's are duds, but right now it's
better to be dealing with them then winging it.
Once the current situation is resolved - then it's
time to look for new ones I'd think.I know I sound scolding - I don't mean to. I'm just
worried.
