ABOUT ME:

28 Year Old Female

Have lived with headaches/migraines since I was 10 years old.  Pretty much every day of my life since I was 10 (with a few exceptions here and there) have had a headache everyday of my life. 
I thought I would just learn how to deal with a headache everyday.  It made my quality of life pretty miserable, but I thought that's how it was supposed to be.
This past July (2008), I was admitted into the ER for Stroke Like Symptoms with a migraine.  They thought it was a possible TIA (again, had one of those three years ago).  They referred me to a nuerologist who FINALLY!  had an idea of what might be the issue and decided to put me on amitriptyline as a daily regime for my headaches.  Within 2 weeks, the daily headache was gone. 
Between watching my diet, exercise, and monitoring everything.  Have had only one migraine since then and that was due to over-stimulants (caffiene and poor eating for a week).  It's been amazing having my life back again :-)
