Well it has been awhile and yes im still serviving wth migraine. But my life is doing alot better thank goodness, taken care of alot of the stuff in the basement that was causing me so much stress and worry it was unheaulthy. So i did a good thing there. Still in alot of pain a few times a week trying to catch it before my migraine becomes full blown then im shit out of luck. Dr. still gives me a hard time wth pain releivers, i dont understand them at times, how long do they see me and know me it drives me insane and at times gives me a migraine.lol.
I wanted to start writing again and i will continue i need to reach out and communicate with others that are going through the same pain as i, the same frustrastions as i. So Im here to stay.
Thank you for having this, so very much.

We are so glad to see you writing again. Good to hear life in general is better.
See the thing is if we get more than three Migraine attacks a month, it is time to talk to our doctor about preventive medications. There's growing evidence that Migraine is a progressive brain disease. A recent study showed that Migraines can cause brain damage, and that people with three or more Migraines a month are more susceptible to this damage. For more information, see Is Migraine a Progressive Brain Disease? and Yes, Migraines Can Cause Brain Damage.
There is now evidence that ANY use of opioids or barbiturates increases the risk of transformed Migraine. You can find more information about this in Transformed Migraine - Risk Increased by Some Medications.
That's why it is so important to reduce the number of Migraines and use preventives if needed. Don't lose hope, with over 100 medications available there are many to choose from. Continue reading this article for more information: Migraine preventive medications - too many options to give up!
I hope some of this information helps and things continue to go well for you.
