I would like to start by saying that I frequently visit migraine sites in search of additional information that might offer more help and relief from my migraines, and I almost never post.  However, your post of "The Juggling Migraineur" hit so close to home that it made me cry as I read it (and I am not a cryer).  This is the first time that I have truly felt like someone understands my life and why I must do everything I do.  Sometimes I feel like people think I am faking a headache or migraine, because even when I have a migraine I will try so hard to care for my family.  Many people think that if you are that sick then why aren't you in bed.  With my husband, son, and full-time teenage stepchildren in my constant thoughts I could never spend that much time in bed.  I have pushed myself so far, that my husband has had to take me to the doctors office for shots several times.  Even been sent to ER from the doctors office due to dehydration from migraine and vomiting.  I always worry that these trips might upset them, so I try desperately not to show how much pain I am in.  My migraines have plagued me for as long as I can remember.  However, after the birth of my son 7 years ago, they have increased in frequency and pain.  I am now 36 years old and hormone changes seem to be playing a big part in this.  I am seeing a neurologist who specializes in migraines now and I am hopeful that his treatment will help decrease my migraines.  I would like to enjoy my family without always having to mask or function thru the pain. Until then I am going to invite all those who question my choices of struggle thru the migraines so I can be the facilitator my family needs to read "The Juggling Migraineur".
