I'm not alone! I will definitely go to the migraine forum. I would have posted this sooner, but have had a migraine for about 3 days. My psycologist encouraged me to check out online support groups, and I am so glad I did. Although I hate to hear that anyone is in pain, it is such a relief to know that I'm not alone in this fight. http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/44975/21117/thank-you http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/44975/20996/find-hopehelp Sun, 02 Mar 2008 03:11:00 -0500 tabby I have had migraines since I was 3 yrs old, I am now 35.  The drs said that it wasn't possible, because I was too young.  But after several years, it was diagnosed.  Had anywhere from 2 or 3 to 10 a year most of my life.  But the past few years have been horrible.  I have lost 4 jobs, my family doctor gave up on me, and I had to file for disability.  On average, I have anywhere from 2 to 5 days per week that I... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/44975/20996/find-hopehelp
