I have a wonderful husband of 13 years and a teenage son.  They are a great support system and the reason I get up every day!  I have six siblings who at one time I was very close to.  Our relasionship changed when they tried to have my husband sign papers to put me in rehab for drug addiction.  They felt that I was taking too many meds and my physicians were quacks and  were getting kick-backs from drug companies.  I was told that there was no way I could be in that much pain!  We are trying to revive some of our past relationship, but I am finding it difficult.  I can't help but wonder if I had a visible disease like MS or cancer what their reaction would be.

I have had migraines since college, they just recently started to increase in duration, frequency and severity. I have had a daily migraine for 6 years plus. I have a great Neurologist, Migraine specialist, Psych and now Pain management MD. I have tried multiple meds without much relief, had to quit working and have been approved for disablity. I know that God has chosen me for Migraine disease because I am a strong enough person to handle it.
