Too good to be true

I have been back to work and having fairly good days lately, until this week. Not only did I wake up to room spinning vertigo, but my eyes have been terrible (blurry, sensitive, after images, sun spots, etc.). Oh, and the anxiety is real. I feel like my symptoms are always worse right after my period. Maybe the rise in estrogen? Some days are easier to endure than others. sigh

    Have you talked to your doctor about your symptoms? Yes hormone fluctuations are I find the worst for symptoms. After period, before period and ovulation. I find I get about a week where I feel somewhat normal. Stress and anxiety makes things worse I find.

      My GP told me that this is my, "new norm" and to "deal with it." My neurologist and neuro-ophthalmologist just tell me it's migraines. No one seems overly concerned. I get dismissed when I mention hormones. I just feel like it is one step forward and ten steps back.
