I have had extreme migraines since i was 7 years old.

When i was pregnant with my first they ramped up.

The GP called an ambulance thinking i was haing a stroke.

They have always been laughed off by professionals, like ahh just migraines, ahh hempelegic migraines nothing serious.

But since my first pregnancy outside of the attacks I'm getting symptoms.

Constant dull headaches.
Vision problems (i cant tell how far items are and they go back and forth before they disappear from my vision)
Also really bad memory loss, where i can hurt myself but 5mins later i can see i have cut my finger but cant recall any memory, no idea which room i was even in ect. Just proper blanks.

As the doctors dismiss it, should i just accept this is the consequence of these types of migraines?

Also before they start now, i freeze and get spacey (like onset of a seizure, i had one once from a medication side effect years ago)

The GP gives me different types of meds to try but thats it.

Just not sure if this is a normal progression of them?

I'm sorry you never got any answers on this. How are you getting on now? You needed referring for scans, I hope you got that. I'm hoping yours settled down once your hormones got back to normal after baby was born
