Have you ever had an MRI of your brain?? I had crazy symptoms, migraines included, for years. My neurologist was just a drug pusher so after my headaches worsened I went to an ENT thinking I had a neck injury or a brain fluid leak. I knew deep down there was a root cause for symptoms. The ENT ordered an MRI, and boom, brain tumor.

oh god I just stalked your history for a minute and I'm so sorry it sounds horrible. I'm glad you're able to talk about it

Pretty much same story for me. Years of crazy symptoms. Got an MRI. Ended up being multiple sclerosis…

Sometimes I fear that I'll discover this; I try not to think of it and there are so many other things to check for that it hasn't made the list. I think I'm a little too old to discover that (I hope). I had an odd new symptom this week where I have a difficult to reproduce sensation of pain and weakness when I move my head and arm in a specific way. I'm hoping I just pulled a really strange muscle

I'm sorry for your suffering, stranger. Life is suffering for many of the people, much of the time. I have many mantras. "If I am suffering, I know I am alive because life is suffering." and "This too shall pass." get heavily used.
