Well here we are again. As migraine sufferurs we are all to familiar with dealing with cronic pain. We are all to use to being steriotyped as "pill-poppers" and all to use to hearing the most dreaded phrase from the doctor " I dont know"

I have been having migraines from tha age of 8. Pain is nothing new to me. The last few weeks I have had unbeilievable pain in my belly. I thought it was PMS and ignored it. The pain has gotten so bad it wakes me up at night. I completly missed my period this month.

I finally decided to go into the doctor, I had my regualr exam, let the Doc know what was going on and how severe the pain is. I also let him know my migraines are getting worse with the pain.

I got the dreaded answer " I dont know" we start from step one and work our way thru to find what might be wrong. In the mean time, I take yet another pain pill. I need another pain pill like I need a hole in my head!

How frustrating!
