Living with Migranes

I'm 33 years old and had my first migrane at about age 22. It was very scary as I thought I was going to die of a brain anurism. The doctor said welcome to the life of migranes and gave me a script for imitrex. Although as of late my headaches have become more frequent and severe. My symptoms start out with what I can only explain as a black dot... Read moreChevron
