Dear Nancy,
thanks for the support. Just woke up and saw this:-) But the funny thing is, my canadian Neurologist happens to be one of the top migraine specialists in my province!

love and hugs,
bim

I'm sorry that it still seems to be a round and round battle for you. I hope the Effexor becomes some what reliable with diminishing your migraines.
I hope you start seeing results on it soon!
Hang in there!
