Fed up of the pain :-(

I have been suffering from a bad head since the end of November. In the past five weeks, I have had five days where I have been that sick that I cannot get out of bed - only to be sick, and even then sometimes I have felt like throwing up on the floor because I didn't have the energy to move. On the days when I am not being sick, I am suffering from a bad head - dizzyness, shooting pains, total agony. I lost all feeling in the right had side of my body and had to spend three nights in hospital while the doctors workd out what was wrong with me. They diagnosed me with hemiplegic migraines. Since coming out of hospital I have been surviving on pain killers to help me get through the day, and nobody can tell me when the pain will end.

I just want to feel like myself again. Can anybody share any stories that will give me a glimmer of hope that I will remember what it is like to be me?

Thanks
