As some of you guys know I mention it a lot of times on here I got a severe Brain injury when I was 15. So anyways I my doctor told me I am at risk to get tumors more then regular people because of this. So my question is if I had those would I know it? Because it scare me a lot when he told me that an I get migrane headaches a lot an seizures sometimes an I was j/w if anyone knew or do yall think I should just ask my doc lol? I thought I would ask if anyone knows in here because im nota fan of going to the hospital all the time Because i already up there a lot. so any help would be much appreciated. (Just fyi the last time I was checked a few weeks ago I didn't have any tho) Oan smoking weed helps me with the migranes usually but I don't get high while pregnant. ~Toni~

Have you been in for an MRI Dizzy? That should give you an idea. I'm sorry you are having headaches. And FYI, I toked a few times during pregnancy for relief and my 22 year old girl graduated top of her class in highschool and is now in college doing a degree. It's the drink you have to worry about while preggo.
Yea ive had them before just a few weeks ago an he said I didn't have anyting wrong...I have to go for checks once a month not counting the other reasons I go over there too. Thanks for the info WeedCat much respect Yep lol I am pregnant an I go to see my doctor an the hospital a lot. They all now my me by name with out me even telling them up there lol. ~Toni~
I would ask your doctor next time you go in. Sorry to hear about that. I have seizures too, very scary stuff. Take it easy
Some of the symptoms are pretty common, but I assume with a real concerning issue they would be a lot worse - dizzy spells, headaches etc. Still best to check with your doctor, preferably someone you trust and can ask a lot of questions if the hospital makes you anxious.
@Dizzy Did a little checking and I think your doctor may have seen this recent study- Probability of New-Onset Cancer Between Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury and a Comparison General Population Cohort. Probability of New-Onset Cancer Between Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury and a Comparison General Population Cohort. - PubMed - NCBI (I was able to pick out the sentence that sums up the study, and it should calm your fears a bit. ) "The cancer incidence rate in the patients with TBI (4.38%) was greater than that in patients without TBI (3.88%)." That means having had a TBI increases your risk of cancer a mere 0.5% over the 15 years of the study. I think those of us who have survived a TBI can deal with that by just taking little better care of ourselves! Granny
