And the soap opera continues

I know how you feel.  I curse the unknown cause of my headaches frequently.  They sre very immasculating and I am constantly being told by other men (particularly coworkers on construction sites) that migraines are a "women's disease."  Sometimes knowing that I am probably going to be fired sooner or later for abscences tempts me to punch these people in the mouth and get the firing over with.   I used to get into fights with other kids when I was growing up because my eyes would water for 1 or 2 days before I would get a headache and they thought I was crying and tease me.  ("Crybaby" etc.)

I had no idea what a migraine OR a prodrome was back then, I thought that my headaches were the same kind of headaches that everyone else gets. My self esteem was lowered since I tohought I was "weak" for not being able to tough them out like everyone else.  I felt unmanly.  I did not know any other men who were dealing with migraines that I could turn to for advice/inspiration.  Growing up with this disease has wreaked havoc in every aspect of my life.

I recently had a gamut of blood work done by my neurologist and they results came back with low Vitamin D and low IGF-1.  They explained the test to me and I have done nothing but spent the last two days online researching it.  You're right - the test is pretty intensive and expensive.  However, I think I'm willing to go through it if there's a decent chance I'll quit having migraine attacks every single day, which I have been dealing with for the past four years.  My neurologist will actually do the stim test in his office though, which is much more comfortable and convenient than a hospital. 

I really haven't been able to find anything online regarding low HGH and migraine.  However, my neurologist has seen it before and seemed very optimistic about the situation.  I figure that the daily injections can't be any worse than the frequent Imitrex injections I have to give myself for the bad migraine attacks.
