Need help for the isolation..anyone out there?

Hello,

I haven't written in ages, mostly because my headaches and migraines make it hard to be at the computer for too long.

My migraines have progressed horribly, now having headaches every day and migraines most days a month.  I am still scrupulous about avoiding rebound headaches (my neurologist warned me about them ages ago), so my medications definetly don't contribute to the pain.  Though as a result of limiting my use of pain meds, most days of the month I am in constant pain to at least some degree. 

Preventitive medications have been of no use, or the side effects have been unbearable.  I've tried so many over the last 3 1/2 decades that I've lost track, though my medical file keeps tabs on all I've tried.

How does one cope with the resulting isolation of living in chronic pain?  The only people in my world are my husband and two sons, who are great, but since I haven't been able to work or participate in most activities, all of my former contacts and my two close friends lost touch years ago.  I've tried contacting my old friends, but their lives are on different paths now, and they haven't responded.

What to do?  I can't always get out of the house, or even drive some days.  I never know which days I"ll feel well enough to do anything, never mind even sit down at the computer with the glare (any suggestions on how to combat computer glare would be appreciated also). 

Any suggestions on coping with this isolation would be greatly appreciated.  My thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
