Changes In My Migraines

I know that feeling, that "great... now what?" feeling, the fear of going through something different than what you are used to - of course you are going to be more fearful of some type of brain injury or disease. This site has been very helpful to me as far as migraine education goes.  I learned about the garden variety of migraines that existed ( my doctors were the least helpful) from members.  It has eased my mind tremendously to see that others are having similiar, if not identical experience as me. I hope this site does the same for you.

I was recently given the "inside" scoop scoop from an RN friend of mine about the best way to get your meds without the outragous costs - first, see if you doctor has samples available, second, go directly to the manufacturer.  It's a little bit of work (I just tried this myself so I don't know if it works yet).  Write a hardship letter to the manufacturer (meds) and describe your financial situation, of course include your need for this rx for continued treatment. According to my source, some of these companies have resources available to us when finances are involved.  Doesn't hurt to ask....That is so nice to hear that you have your husband's support like you do.  My husband has surprised me every time with the same type of support, it takes a great big load off to know that he's acting like he has a clue (even if he doesn't - God bless him!).  I wish I had some words of encouragement to offer, some type of guarantee that the headaches won't get worse, that you will find the perfect doctor, the perfect treatment.  All I can really say is hang in there, you are not alone, anything you are going through, about a couple of dozen members have gone through the same and can tell you what has gotten them through it, hoping that it will help you. 

I saw the pic of your boys (your profile), they are adorable - let them be your strength!  Take good care, best of luck with everything.
