Migraine with aura
I am presently 'temporarily unfit' for my class1 due to migraine with aura. Age 47 18000 hrs ATPL and flying since age 16 so quite a shock.
My symptoms are;
Sudden smokey vision with fixed black/blind spots followed approx. 5mins+ later by an accute throbbing headache on the rightside and the feeling of reduced coordination of my rightside limbs.
I have been to consultant neurologist. He sent me for an MRI scan which i am glad to say showed no irregularities.
The next step is a trial of medication recommended by the neurologist, at present Half Inderal 80mg (beta blockers). I've been on these for 1 month and had one migraine. The next step is 160mg Inderal.
The C** medical advisers have been supportive but obviously non commital about which medications may be allowed ; "just get yourself sorted and then we will review your case" I really wanted to know which medications are allowed and start with those first!
The end of my of sick pay looms. (lucky to have sick pay these days I know!)
Any ideas folks?
