HEALTH INTERESTS:

Migraines,  sinus headaches,  chronic headaches,  some aura

DRUGS I AM TAKING:

Alot in the past. In the past,  they've helped for a while,  but then I have "rebound migraines" from them,  so I have to stop taking them. Right now TRYING TOPAMAX.

ABOUT ME:

I am a 31 year old married female.  My migraines started almost 10 years ago (Feb. 1998).  They started w/aura maybe once a month or once every two months.  Something I could deal with without too much of a problem.  I acutually went to the eye doctor because I thought it was a problem with my eyes!  :)  Then they just progressed over the years.  I lost the aura migraines and was just left with the pain in the left temple like before, but I could still see when I had one.  I only had the migraines with aura seldomly after that.  The regular migraines just got alot more frequent.  I've been on disability since 2001 and have a migraine or a headache just about everyday. 

 In the past, I've tried alot of different medications, but get a rebound from them, so I'm eventually told to get off of them.  The last neurologist I saw said to get off all meds since I wanted to have a baby (that was 2002) and I was having all the rebounds.  Finally, we were blessed with a child in 2004!!! 

I found this website the other day because I was looking for info on Topamax.  My doc put me on it and I've been pretty sick.  I will get online very soon so I can get some feedback on it (since I'm not getting anything from my doctor).  I'm not too happy about it.
