HI Sherri,

I know how it feels to have a migraines go on and on. I just saw my neurologist yesterday after having a migraine for 4 days. The one I had at the beginning of Feb had lasted for 18 days and put me in the hospital or 3 days to get rid of it. I also understand the whole job concern thing. I am a flight nurse and worry about losing my job all the time. I wonder when my next absence will be my last. The support you get on this site is wonderful. As far as meds go I think I have lost track of how many I have been on and since I can not take DHE or any triptans I keep the doctors on their toes. I wish you all the best and that you stay pain free. Don't give up and trust me I know how hard that is.

Kathy
