@A MyMSTeam Member thank you so much for the reassurance 🙏🏻 I woke up with a migraine this morning, so I’m thinking it may becoming part of my migraine prodrome unfortunately… I’ve noticed in the past, but thought maybe it was just me being paranoid because it was never this dramatic. This time my family noticed & I thought I should mention it to doc. But again, thank you for the reassurance!
