I am in my early 30's and have suffered with Migraine all of my life, we (my parents and I) think.  I see two neurologists, one who focuses primarily on Migraine disease and preventives, and the other who is "another set of eyes" and focuses on treating the pain.  They work together somewhat, so it has been beneficial to have two sets of eyes going over everything with me.  I am married to a wonderful guy who knows as much about migraine now as I do.  He's the perfect husband to a sick wife.  As unlucky as I may be to have this cursed disease, I am equally or more so lucky to have a husband like him! 

I love to read, love politics (I am open-minded though!), would play volleyball everyday if someone would let me, and I have 4 nephews and a niece that I adore and spend as much time with as possible.  I don't work, because for the past 10 years or so my migraines have made it impossible for me to do anything consistently.  I made it through college, graduated with honors, and won a scholarship to law school, which was my dream job.  Unfortunately, the year before law school was when my migraines became extremely chronic and uncontrollable.  I started law school anyway, was in and out of the hospital, having to take medical leaves of absence, and when it took two full years to finish only 18 hours of coursework, I decided I had to put law school on hold and focus on my health for a while.  That while has turned into 8 years, but I am at a point now where I can function and enjoy life, for the most part.  My life is extremely scaled down, very little stresses and things that could otherwise rock the boat, but I have learned in the past 8 years that working on my health and having a happy marriage and some sort of a life is just as valuable as having a law degree!  That discovery saved my life, kept me from committing suicide, and in general has allowed me to enjoy the good in my life, regardless of how often I might be in pain. 

And that's my story and I am sticking to it!
