Books, thanks for the information. I've printed it so's i can member it. Alka Seltzer, what a concept. I'm buying some tomorrow just to have around. For me, since I already take xanex 3xday, it doesn't help after I've had an attack as I usually just want to sleep.
Glad to hear you GP said that the damage isn't permanent. My GP won't even give me the time of day or let me discuss it with her. I had a physical on the 16th (last Wed.) and took my findings on BAM, she said something like, you can read as much as you want but I can't treat you, you have to discuss it with your neurologist. The day I had the attack, I cld her and she wouldn't see me, sd I needed to contact my pdoc. Go figure!
I was getting concerned about the permanent damage. I saw my pdoc today and took my posting regarding my attack and had printed some pages on Basilar Artery Migranes. He said he had heard of BAM and was amazed as I read some information on it. He said he'll look up a good neurologist that knows about this subject. Meanwhile I'm staying on xanex and Effexor (I also take blood pressure med and celebrex for arthritis.) No lexapro for me right now.
Again thanks and keep me posted.
