So my neurologist came this morning to pay me a visit. Spinal tap turned out OK, all blood tests were OK. He brought my MRI pictures along for me to watch with him, since he heard I'm into neuro... The first thing I noticed was my right 3rd cranial nerve (the oculomotor nerve) was kind of fuzzy and crushed in my right eye socket. It was precisely that: I have an ophtalmoplegic migraine, which compromised my right 3rd cranial nerve. So he put me on corticosteroids, upped my Topamax dose, and discharged me with 1 week-leave and rest. ![[image loading]](http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l42/winters_host/scumbagnerve.png) Scumbag oculomotor nerve... Afterwards my mom and dad came in to listen to the good news. I'm not a very expresive dude, so giving a long hug to my mom and dad was a really nice, calming thing for all of us. Luckily, there's nothing so incredibly bad wrong with me. I just happen to be one of those people who have bizarre medical conditions that are very annoying, very painful, but benign. Thanks to everyone who has expressed their support either here or on my Facebook page, or those here in Chile who have been worried about me. It really warms my heart to know that so many people care for my well-being. Thank you guys. This is why TeamLiquid is so goddam awesome ♥ ♥ ♥ | ||

Out of curiosity, how will this (if at all) affect how you do your job/treat patients? | ||

Hope it doesn't affect your work too much. Does this condition worsen with age? And from now on will this accompany your migraines or is it possible for it to occur separate to your usual migraines? | ||

For those asking how this will or may affect my work, my neurologist gave me 1 week off night-shifts since sleep deprivation induces migraines, and if I ever have another episode like this again I will have to stop pulling night shifts completely. Also, I will have to use medication for the rest of my life. And yes, of course I'm watching the MLG and commenting with my clanmates on TeamSpeak. And will be back playing games next week, too. Got to get that SC2 LA account back to masters... and try to find a way to get my hands into a Kr/Tw account... The only way to improve is to play against better people :D And on a sidenote, now that I remember... god, I wish Artosis would go back to streaming, I miss modding his stream chat  It will not be very disrupting of my ordinary life... Unless it happens again. And of that, I'm kind of scared. I have to keep low on cheese, coffee, chocolates, I have to sleep well... Basically all of the things I like or don't do because of work | ||

Hope there isn't a recurrence man. Guess you're forced to take the good with the bad in this case. :[ | ||
