snickerdoodles hurts mah feelings

I've had a headache every day for the past two years now. I've seen one neurologist who says it's likely not a migraine and they don't know what's causing it or how to fix it and another who says it's a migraine. I'm on medicine for it now though, and it can definitely get pretty expensive. It can never make the headache go away, just bring it down to a level where I can function most of the time. I've tried going to the chiropractor, had my nerves checked, even had an MRI. The MRI found a cyst in my brain but the neurologist said it's not the reason I have my headache. I've also had a spinal tap, but haven't gotten the results back from that yet. Still hoping something will work out, but I've been told this is probably just something I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life. It really sucks that your mom doesn't believe you, and went so far as to throw out expensive medication. I'd have a lot harder time dealing with all of this now without my mother's support.

Obviously your mom has never had a migraine or she would be more sympathetic. I get them occasionally, but they are so irregular that I can't pinpoint what triggers them.

ydi for faking extremely debilitating migranes that require medication, what the hell is wrong with you?! but seriously... sorry to hear that your mother is: *******. CRAZY. my guess is op was trying to get out of school AGAIN though, and that's what got the bitchdom rolling.

Kill the bitch! Migraines aren't funny!

#75 is right

Revenge makes headaches better. Throw out all of your mom's medication.

kill yourself, then she'll feel worse.

I have had migraines for about 10 years. They have mostly been hormonal, so I would get them once a month, then it increased to 2x a month - every 2 weeks. I tried a number of things to reduce them, some with luck - the Pill decreased them to one about every 6 weeks for a while, but that only lasted about 6 months... Finally, last year, I was having a migraine every 10 days - and they were killer - my Imitrex and other meds didn't even touch them. :( Then, unrelated to migraines, I gave up meat and poultry (I still eat fish and eggs, etc) .. about 5 weeks into this, I realized I had not had a migraine. Now, about a year later, I'm still only getting one migraine about every 6-8 weeks, and they are very mild, and highly treatable by my new migraine med, MaxALT. Just to let you migraine sufferers know that there might be something else you can do then spend a lot of money on meds. :) Good luck.

FYL for living in a country where it's possible for a prescription to cost that much, here, they all cost the same (around £4). I suppose that's the advantage of not living in a country that's too backwards to have universal healthcare!
