the benign and the angiomas are the same I think but thats okay...it's
nice to see some one actually posting on this site again...anyhow I've
never had a bleed(thank god) and I haven't experienced the paralysis.
It must have been very frighteneing. The vertigo was scary enough. I
was "off" my feet for about 4 weeks the first time and 3 weeks the
second before I went on the med. I am pretty nervous when my neuro doc
talks about cutting my med back. All I can think of is the vertigo
coming back. And the headaches were terrible. I was actually addicted
to advil for years and was bringing on headaches by taking it. I was
given Indomethacin which is an antiinflammatory med to take for
headaches along with the Topamax until we could get the dosages right.
I don't have to use it anymore. No one really took the headaches
seriosly and didn't look into the reason why I was having them...I got
my reason when the second bout of vertigo started. After many tests.
Thanks for posting...
