I have had migraines for thereabouts 25 years. The frequency of feeling nauseated/vomiting has lessened immensely, now that I'm menopausal (55)....but the migraines nonetheless still appear. I do however have other conditions aside from migraines(treated with Imitrex)...some may be linked to migraines!

- High Blood Pressure (Diovan, and a diuretic)

_ Asthma (inhalors)

_ Allergies (desensitisation, and antihistamines)

_ Diabetes (meds)

_ Raynauds

_ Gall Stones

_ Arthritis (occasional anti-inflamatory) 

Regardless of these conditions...life goes on! I teach full time,(though my first carreer was Graphic Arts and Illustration) and am active in a wide variety of areas.

I volunteer in many areas, cycle (gave up my beloved downhill skiing due to Raynauds), read, read, read, paint, love a wide spectrum of music, sing, connect with friends, my husband and I love to keep in touch with our children and grandchild, 2 years old (and one on the way...due March 2010). As well, we've "adopted" our daughter's little 2 year old black Toy Poodle named Taylor...which reminds me...gotta take him for a walk! So ciao for now...linda in canada.
