I have been living with migraine ever since childhood. Seven years ago my migraines became chronic. I have taken every medicine known to science to prevent migraine without success. I have been hospitalized to detox my system from all the drugs I had been prescribed. I have had emergency room physicians doubt my complaint. Sometimes my friends say, "but you look fine." I lost a job because I was out more than I was in. Life with migraine has truly been one crazy trip down the rabbit hole with Alice.
Despite all of this, I have a very kind neurologist who is determined in finding a way to manage my migraines. I have a dear, dear husband who has taken me to the ER at 2am numerous times. He has never doubted me. Life is good. I am now self-employed and I can manage my own hours. Come share my journey at my blog.

Thank you for the welcome. People are supportive and welcoming. I am glad that I have found this community because the headache support group near me folded. It was for anyone with a headache disorder and I was the only migraineur.
I must say that when I went to the article Teri wrote about migraine preventatives (I can't find it now) I would have to put a caveat in my sharepost. Let's just say it feels like that and I have had drs give up.
