Oh, and migraines are one of the many health problems that I blame the lack of medical advancement on on the fact that it’s predominantly a women’s problem. I know medical science is slowly catching up as research focuses better on these things, but let’s be honest. For years (decades? centuries?), it was just that…

Some chiropractors are better than others. Glad you got a good one!

I was told to take my pill without a break...my migraines came instead of once a month once a week. For three days. not helpful. Now I do not take any contraception than condoms (yes, it worked for the last 5 years), and my monthly migraine is less Aura-heavy. That means I only have pain, light sensitivity and…

I can speak truth to the fact that good health insurance helps manage migraines. When I had a particularly bad one, my doctor started trying me out on different abortives until we found one that worked (orally dissolving Maxalt) and then went to work on finding a preventative (Topomax did the job). But I was extremely…

This is such excellent news for those of us still suffering.

I once had a migraine so bad I was hospitalized with it. Fourteen days I spent in hospital, and they wanted to keep me longer too, because it got so bad I started seeing sounds as colors and losing the ability to distinguish speech. They actually thought it could be a brain tumor, at one point. I was lucky, it…

Mine actually got worse with menopause. I had a neurology appointment todat, and we’re going to try some physical therapy and drugs for a while, then move on to Botox in the back of my head, where most of mine originate. I’m jealous of your migraine-free existence, but also congratulatory.

For twenty years? I think I’d probably be dead by now.

I don’t think anyone really understands how chronic migraine seeps into every part of your life unless the have that condition, or they have a loved one with it and see what it’s done to them. They ruin careers, personal lives, everything. Your whole life starts to revolve around preventing or mitigating migraines.…

My great aunt told me she grew out of her “headaches” at 60. I don’t know if they were actually migraines or not, but either way it was welcome news since I also get bad headaches that last several days in a row. I don’t know that they are migraines since I don’t have all the symptoms and I have never been diagnosed…

I started getting them around 11, which, same as you, was when I got my period. I had heard pregnancy can make migraines better, but I haven’t been so lucky. I’m at 10 weeks, and I’ve had a migraine almost every day, ranging from “barely functional” to “curl up in a ball and die.” I’ve dropped ten pounds and it’s down…

Both men and women get migraines, but women are approximately three times more likely to suffer migraine than men.

Indecent exposure and sexual harassment?

Haha, I hope you’re okay! That was quite a nasty tumble you took, there.

Ooh, you are diabolical! I love that.

And live in that house and have serious discussions on that couch.
