So I had a follow up today. I waited 40 minutes without them saying anything. I went to ask how much longer and they told me I didn't have an appointment. I have an appt card with today and 1PM written on it, someone never put it in. I made the appt while there last time, quite frustrating. They did get me in pretty much right away at that point.
Dr Hain said that while they are finding some small abnormalities on the testing, it is puzzling because I am not responding to any of the treatments. So at this point, he's decided it must be migraine related. He gave me scripts for two migraine meds and I am to call the lactation consultant to find out if either are safe. I plan to call tomorrow, since we didn't get home until 4:30. I am not very optimistic about either being acceptable. So then I have 2 choices.
I can choose to stop breastfeeding, which is likely to take some time to wean. When I'm completely done I could then try the meds, which take about a month to see if they work.
Or I can choose to not take the meds and basically do nothing but continuing taking these supplements.
I'm really torn as to what I will decide to do. Neither me or Carolyn is really ready to end breastfeeding. But I hate living with this dizziness. I have to go back and see my OBGYN for my yearly appt at the end of May. I'm considering going back a little sooner and maybe asking him if it's possible that this is hormone/cycle related. My really bad days started on the first day of my period and lasted 2 weeks, quite possibly until ovulation. So if that pattern repeats itself and I have okay days from now until my next period, I'll be even more convinced that it is hormone/cycle related.
This is all quite frustrating. It's been about 5 months now that I've been living with this, and no one has any real answers. I'm still hoping that this will all just go away eventually.
