Nutcracker,

You really are blessed! You've had a good treatment team and good responses to you meds, that is true!

But you've only come this far by being such a well-informed, confident patient! You've done a great job!!

It's nice to hear a positive story! I know the road hasn't been easy for you......this nice streak you are in has probably been good for clarity - I get that way. I forgot that you get migraines bilaterally - I get a few that way too - every once in a while - and when I do those are the ones to look out for!

Thanks again!

My story is very similar to yours, only I am on my 10th preventive and still nothing. Otherwise, I feel the same way.
I am glad to hear a positive story.
