I am 62 years old and have had migraines for 28 years.  I have had every test in the books and tried all sorts of meds.  When I was working and taking pain killers they just thought I was stupid because I was a slow thinker.  Couldn't tell them how many pain killers I was on as then they would come back with: "She's a druggie."  Right now I am taking percocet and that gives me a life.  My Doc wants me off that stuff and I understand why but I am really scared of having a headache every day.  I wake up with them.
