I pray, hope, cross my fingers, and whatever all that other lucky stuff is because I am running out of options. I have been through 3 different abortives in less than 2 months. Its this simple, when it doesn't work it doesn't work. I have also been prescribed Soma, as a rescue med, but as far as I can tell that does not work either for me. I've just got to believe that something out there is going to work!... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/6378/15599/day http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/6378/15440/sick-tired Fri, 26 Oct 2007 10:43:00 -0400 Patty I am so sick and tired of taking medications. I just want to be a normal person that wakes up and takes an nice little multivitamin and then goes on about there day. My grandmother is 93 years old and I am 28, I take as much medication in one day for my migaines as she does for all of her health problems combined. How is that right? My husband tells me that I am going to kill over in a few years as a result of taking all the medications I... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/6378/15440/sick-tired http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/6378/15259/ups-downs Mon, 22 Oct 2007 10:44:00 -0400 Patty Note to self:  You will have good days and bad days!  On the bad days I do not understand how it was ever possible to have a good day. I walk around under a dark cloud, taking migraine medication in place of meals. Going back and forth from the couch to the bed, taking my heating pad along for the ride.  Side note to self: Your heating pad is your new bestfriend! We go everywhere together. My heating pad comforts me... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/6378/15259/ups-downs http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/6378/15155/share-burden Fri, 19 Oct 2007 09:16:00 -0400 Patty No one deserves migraines. Migraines are not a punishment for some past sin of long ago. It is time to stop holding ourselves responsible for a condition that we have no control over. We should not bare the burden of Migraines alone. Not only are the side effects of migraines enough, but then we have to deal with an unsympatheic world.  There are a few things that I have found that keep me going when everything else has failed. This one... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/6378/15155/share-burden http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/6378/15077/getting-over-it Wed, 17 Oct 2007 11:53:00 -0400 Patty I am just getting over a migraine that I had for nine days. The pain was sickening, almost more than I could bare. It started with neck pain on a Monday that worked its way around the side of my head and settled in behind my right eye. I took over the maximum dosage of my medicine that day, just to wake up with it again the next morning. I went to school and after taking almost two hours of notes for anatomy class my head was raging. I... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/6378/15077/getting-over-it
