Hello everyone
I’m not really sure where to start, about two months ago I had experienced the worst migraine episode I had ever had in my life. I have been having migraines ever since I was a child and knew how to manage them.
But on this occasion I lost my eyesight for about 8 hours. I got my eyes tested and went to the doctor and they put it down to it being caused by left over congestion from where I had Covid two weeks prior to the migraine.
ever since this attack I’ve noticed I’ve been progressively feeling more and more unwell. I went back to the doctors and they did a blood test and it turns out I’m very vitamin D deficient (which I am now aware is a possible indicator of ms)
I was given a high does course to take for seven weeks. But now I get to what has caused me to make this post out of desperation.
last Thursday I developed a strange numb tingling patch on the right side of my scalp. The only way I can describe it is that it feels like is holding my head with a large hand and then pushing their thumb into my scalp. This accompanied by various tingling and pins and needles that move around my face and down into my right arm.
I made a private gp appointment to obtain a referral letter as I’m planning on getting a private mri done asap as I know something is not right.
I’m feeling a little lost at the moment as I’m unsure what is the correct path to take in all the confusion and worry.
