Although my primary physician is good, I have a lot of trouble with his office staff and just getting into see him. Not to mention we've been trying to find the right med regime for me for over 5 years... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/5386/15357/relieved-happy http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/5386/15255/feeling-hope Mon, 22 Oct 2007 09:29:00 -0400 CrystalDawn I had another migraine yesterday (4th time this month - last one lasted almost a week). This was an extremely painful one - I rated it a 8 out of 10 and I can really handle alot of pain. My fiance and I were in the middle of registering for our wedding gifts when the pain started.

I started calling my doctor at 10:30 in the morning and by 3:30 I still hadn't heard anything, so I called and the nurse, kind of rudely!, said "he is checking his messages now and he will call something in". Ten minutes later she called back and said to increase my Depakote and they were switching my other med to... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/5386/14753/Thank-You http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/5386/14691/day-5-migraine Mon, 08 Oct 2007 11:27:00 -0400 CrystalDawn That's right, I have had a migraine for 5 days straight. I almost feel like a zombie today because I spent the entire weekend taking whatever I could get my hands on to get rid of this migraine. I am currently taking Depakote for preventive and I have come to the conclusion that it isn't working. I feel like I will never find a med that will work! I am really frustrated because I feel like this is ruining my life. I had so many things I... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/5386/14691/day-5-migraine
