Anyway, today, FINALLY it's gone. But snow is on the way for mid-week... and my stomach can't take another pill. Let's just hope I can avoid another one since the temp should stay about the same the next few days.

Weather changes are a big trigger for me. My doc is letting me take Frova about 12 hours before a storm front blows through. I estimate it's preventing about 50% of my weather-triggered migraines. Katrina was still a Category One when she blew through central Mississippi. Frova kept me from having a killer migraine attack. -- Gretchen

Hi Christie,
Reading what you were saying in your post and your profile, I saw myself in many ways... I admire you for what you do, as, although I don't have as demanding a job, I have an idea of what it is to have to go and be out there, in pain, and having to function as normally as possible.
It's true, people don't really understand. How can they? You can't understand what you don't know... but it's frustrating. It's frustrating to want to show that pain, but to be unable to. It's frustrating when you feel the guilt; when people don't believe you. It's frustrating when people pity you, and it's frustrating when they ask too much of you! Like you mentionned about the Motrin, I HATE it when people tell you to take an Advil and you'll feel better! It doesn't work that way... I wish it did, but it doesn't. It's frustrating when people ask if I have a headache... of course I do! I haven't been without one in years!!! I've told them that... but because I appear to function normally most of the time, they forget.
Anyways, sorry for venting, I'm getting angry here, so I better stop...
