Hello everyone. My name is Kathy and I am almost 37 years old. In Dec 2002 I sustained a closed head injury while on active duty with the US Army. I was soon after diagnosed with post concussion migraines after having the same headache for 30 days following initial injury. Less than six months later I was deployed to Iraq. Within 7 days of returning home in Oct 2003 I suffered a migraine related stroke. I am an RN and work in a busy ER and also fly part time with Life Flight so when I have a migraine it really affects my life. Until recently I was getting very good results with botox therapy for migraines but have apparently developed antibodies to botox and it is no longer working. I feel as if I am back to square one with this condition and feel very frustrated. I have a wonderful husband and five beautiful children that I can not enjoy. I am hoping to find some new ideas from others suffering this horrible condition.

Thank you for listening

Kathy
