About Me

I have suffered with migraines off and on since 1988. They were always able to find me a drug that worked well as a preventive and a drug that worked well as a abortive. When I had been on those drugs for about 2 years...I would wean myself off...It would be several years before I would have a flair up again. In the fall of 2001 I started another cycle of them...we were not having luck finding anything that worked. Then on 2/12/2002 I woke up with a HORRIBLE headache...I do not even remember the next two weeks. I have had that same headache that started on 2/12/2002 every single minute of every day for over 6 years now. I have been to the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago 3 times. I have seen 5 Neurologists, 2 Pain Management Doctors, and a plethora of other specialists...to no avail. I am just about at the end of my rope. Well.....that is my story. Any suggestions, thoughts, or comments are welcome.    Take care of you!!    : P
