SKIN UPDATE
Carina's chest has what looks like acne but also can be HS. She has a cluster full on front chest doesnt seem to go away. Her face has some acne on it as well. Her left arm pit has that swelling but right arm pit is clear and smooth. Her groin area still has a small crusty look to it however is flat with not swelling, This is according to what I saw at the Neurologist vist.
NEUROLOGIST APPT 2/5/13
Saw Dr. Chow (intern) and then saw another Dr. the main for just a few minutes.
Their recommendation was to have Carina take her medication in the morning and at night. If the morning one makes her drowsy, she will need to take a lower dosage maybe a 1/4 of the med in the morning. Carina talked about her headaches, she will need to keep a diary to be able to exactly tell how often the happen, if anything happens before hand that signals her headaches, when her arm starts to feel like fire etc.
He also spoke with her in regards to pregnancy and if she was to get pregnant because seizure medications take the vitamins out of your body. The seizure medication she is on is pretty safe , however seizure medications have a possibility of causing birth defects more in the stronger meds however all can cause birth defects, the percentage rate is unknown.
Carina CT scan was done in 2012 before her left cochlear implant. MRI's show more of the brain than a CT however due to her types of headaches he said he thinks she is having complex migraines.
