- married and have twin boys  age 16

- am an Investment Services Advisor working for an investment dealer for the last 32 years. 

I have been living with migraines for at least 12 years,(everyone including myself thought it was sinus pain because also have allergies).   It was a long time before  diagnosed with migraines - approximately 7 years ago.  Weather is a major trigger , smells,and probably stress.  Also tend to get somewhat depressed when suffering from migraines, and believe it is important for everyone to have someone they can speak with they can trust and who has the knowledge to give advice. I had a Neurologist who suffered from migraines with aura and does specialize in headaches and she was working with me to control the number of migraines.   Was taking 50 mg. of Topiramate daily with no success. In the past have tried many other preventative medications with no success. I go for Acupuncture every week and have massage treatments every second week and believe this helps somewhat.

For relaxation, I walk, read, and make jewelry with beads and wire with a craft group and on my own. 

This website has been extremely helpful as well!  Thank you.
