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!

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!

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!

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*

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

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. :)

[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]

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

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.

Heeee! Thank you!

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

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

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.

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

That is fantastic news! :D *hugs all around* ♥ Much love to you both.

It's a lot better than it used to be. I only get them 2-3 times a year instead of once a week like when they started.

Huh. Well, I wouldn't press hard enough to hurt and I would hold it for maybe 30 seconds or so. For me I start seeing geometric shapes, black and white triangles and squares as if I was staring into a monochrome kaleidoscope.

XD At least he doesn't have a hole in his head. My ear surgeon told me after I had my second mastoidectomy that I literally had a hole in my head (tiny, tiny thing) leading from my ear to my brain. Kinda freaky to hear but hey, I get to say I DO have a hole in my head. Since healed over but bragging rights remain. *blows a raspberry at life*

Congratulations to you and Mr. R. :). m
