Some good news!

[roxy]

Good news! We talked to the surgeon yesterday, and he was certain, looking at Mr. R's scans, that there was *no* tumor on the pituitary gland. He said that it was swollen, but this was also extremely common and not anything to worry too much about. Blood tests will come next and if they are clear, all he has to do next is get another scan in six months. Doctor said there may be a possibility that Mr. R is experiencing ocular migraine without pain. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? He isn't experiencing any other migraine-like symptoms.

I'm so beyond relieved I actually feel a little stunned, guys. I'm so glad that I can share some good news with you!

Oh, wonderful news, keep it coming!!!!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I'm *so* relieved, I'm almost afraid to be relieved, lol!

[quickreaver.livejournal.com]

Great news! But I know nothing of these ocular migraines, sans pain. What an odd concept!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Weird, right? From what folks have said about migraines, I'm really thankful he's not getting the pain!

[tasabian.livejournal.com]

That's fantastic! So happy for you & Mr. R.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! We were so damn happy, we just kept grinning at the doctor like fools, lol!!

I am a chronic migraine sufferer, we're talking one awful spell where I had 44 straight days of agonizing migraine pain. But I've only ever had one occular migraine, and that was completely without pain or any other symptoms. So it can happen.

So glad to hear this good news!

:)

OMG! You poor, poor thing!!! I can't imagine that!

We're damn grateful and hope that that's what's going on with him--it was a relief to know he wouldn't have to go through surgery. :)

Thank goodness!

I do get migraines and have occasionally (once or twice) had one that looked for all the world like it was going to be a migraine but no pain. I get visual disturbances called aura (they kind of look like the spots you see when you press hard on your eyeballs and hold for a minute), then light sensitivity, sound sensitivity and very, very rarely nausea. Plus pain. Oh, and it's really super-hard to think. It's like I know I need to do X but the steps to go from where I am to actually doing X are impossible to figure out.

I have to say what you described did sound like a painless migraine to me. Much better that than something worse, really!

*all the hugs*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

First, I'm sorry you have to go through something like that. *HUGS*

Second, okay, I pressed on my eyeball and didn't see spots but boy, it really kinda hurt and now my eyeball hates me....

I hope that's all he'll ever experience of it. It's so odd though, that such things can be! And now, I know what the inside of my beloved's head looks like. Hmmm, that's probably kinda weird to say. :D

[bubblesbrnaid]

Yay!

And I have heard of that, actually--job hazard. :) I've learned that migraines are really, really, REALLY weird things sometimes.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Heeee! Thank you!

I had no idea that there were so many types of migraines!

My dad gets ocular migraines once in a while. The first time he got one, he thought his retina had detached again because it didn't hurt, but it was throwing some weird visuals his way.

That's what I was worried about in the very beginning but it was quickly crossed off the list, thank goodness--my dad had also suffered from a detached retina.

[fanspired]

That is really good news. So glad to hear it. Hope the swelling soon abates and this stressful event is soon nothing but a memory.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!!
It felt amazing to let that worry go!

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Thank you, love! It was such great news--still reeling, lol!

[phoenixnz.livejournal.com]

Oh that is good news. At least the doc is looking into it. I've heard of painless migraines before (I get the bad painful ones where it's like someone's using a jackhammer on your head, ouch!)

*hugs*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oy, I'm so sorry! I know that they're terrible things to deal with!

*HUGS*

[daisydumont.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, Roxy! I've been neglecting my LJ friends, clearly. I'm so glad the surgeon had good news!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Girl!! I let out such a sigh of relief I'm surprised the walls were still standing! :D

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

This is WONDERFUL NEWS!!! I am so happy to read it. YYAAAYYY!!! *big hugs*

We were grinning like loons and laughed all the way through lunch--just so ridiculously relieved! :D

[nomango.livejournal.com]

Happy for you! xxx

*squeezes you* omg, thanks so much! Such a darn relief, I tell you!

[dawnybee.livejournal.com]

So glad to hear!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Ack, Dawny, I was so scared I couldn't even act like a person--I was all RobotRoxy until we talked to the doctor. Now I just want to drive around the streets screaming, "WE'RE GOOD!!!" out the window! :D

[carolandtom.livejournal.com]

Wonderful news!!! I'm so happy for you and Mr. R.!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you lovey, thank you so very much! *HUGS*

[fufaraw]

Such good news! ::dances both of you!::

*runs around all victory arms*

I am so relieved! I feel like Maria on the mountain, only less tuneful. ;D

*hugs*

Thank goodness about the non-tumor!

I sometimes get an assortment of migraine symptoms without the actual headache, and now that I'm not bewildered and scared about what-the-heck is happening (since a doctor explained it to me), I'm very cool with the omission. Sometimes it's a stabbing pain in one eyeball + nausea, or eardrum pain + neck pain, or whatnot. Sometimes my vision and/or mood will be off-kilter for days before I get additional symptoms.

Hugs!

Oh man--that must have been so scary, not knowing what the hell was going on! He's complained about neck pain sometimes too, but with his job, we pretty much blame everything on work. I'll tell him to pay more attention to odd aches and pains. And thank you! :)

[supernutjapan.livejournal.com]

YAY! So happy for you!*hugs*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*HUGS BACK*

Thank you!! It's a wonderful relief! ♥
