I went to a neurologist, and he told me i had migraines and not a tumor issue, than he prescribed me some kind of migraine medications i refuse to take. This makes no sense to me, since i never had an MRI done, i told him about the history of cancer and how i had a tumor, and that the pain im getting is from the same site as the old one. I also explained that i have vertigo, and sleep issues. He just said it was migraines and prescribed away. Think i need a new neuro

You are ALWAYS entitled to a second opinion, definitely go see another one. My sister had similar issues - was put on migraine meds and ended up having a stroke at 17. Apparently it's a known "side effect" of some migraine meds. If the pill is blue, avoid it like the plague. There's also a tiny white pill that's just as bad. I don't remember the names (this was like 12-15 years ago now).

Anyway the point of this story is that when she had the stroke they finally did an MRI and stuff and it turns out she has a tumor on her optic nerve (inoperable). They left it alone for 10 years and gave her some meds but it's so big now that she has no relief whatsoever to they are giving her some new laser focused radiotherapy thing.

I have had similar experiences with medical "professionals" (was told I had growing pains from 9-17, turned out it was juvenile arthritis. Was told I had fibromyalgia at 24, turned out it was a genetic disorder that makes my tendons and other soft tissue very loose causing hyperflexibility and dislocations, not to mention the pain I was feeling that I went to the doctor for in the first place).

I was a paramedic... and now I have very little faith in medicine at all.
