Today for me is not a good day. I take pain medicine and it does not help or it only lasts a few hours. My mom had knee surgery and I am trying to take care of her and take care of the house and fix dinner for me and my father. Trying to stay awake from my medicine is very hard. I do not take it unless I just need to. I have been having such bad headaches and I do not like to tell my mom that I have a bad headache. I try and have hope and it just gets frustrating.. I get tired of wakeing up with a headache all the time. I always thought I was alone of everyday headaches but I found out I am not. My friends do not understand what I go through and I am so glad I found this website. I went on the National Headache Foundation and I joined a penpal list to talk to other migraine suffers. I do hope I can meet some nice people. Good Luck to anyone with these problems.
