I also can relate to so many of those. Most people just do not understand. I am usually a very energetic motivated person and migraines really interrupt my life. Getting them daily really wears on me. I have been to a neurologist, back and forth to my PCP, and recently went to an acupuncturist. I also recently started therapy with hopes that will help (re: stress, anxiety). I am planning on seeing a different neurologist an hour away to see if they can help at all because so far, I have had no help. Inderal used to help but unfortunately does not anymore. I do take maxalt, but needing it daily and often more than once a day really scares me sometimes! When will it end!<br /><br />Just wanted to say thanks. It's nice to know I am not alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354919626925114303.post-37510870951189481022009-10-22T16:14:27.539-04:002009-10-22T16:14:27.539-04:00Sherrie -

I'm sorry to hear that you have yet to find a preventive that works for you and now also have a new diagnosis of Graves as well. <br /><br />Have you been to a Migraine specialist? I found that with the neuro's I was seeing, they didn't know quite as much as my specialist does. I finally found a doctor that won't give up on me! She is always 2 steps ahead of whatever preventive I'm on and knows exactly what to try next if the current one fails.<br /><br />I wish you the best of luck! It took me a very long time to find a good doctor. There is hope, I promise you!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523624189939691422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354919626925114303.post-18651887044762590252009-10-22T16:00:10.481-04:002009-10-22T16:00:10.481-04:00I was born with migraines and been to every dr. un...I was born with migraines and been to every dr. under the sun. Took all of their useless meds some of which I was allergic to. Just found out that I have graves disease but I haven't had it all of my life like the migraines so I am sure there is no connection and no hope of getting rid of them. At this point i really just want to die to escape the damn migraines because the quality of my life sucks! And Im so sick of the dr.s that say, sorry I really dont know what to do with you because none of my magic pills are working for you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04587330271137917209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354919626925114303.post-68344581137164037322009-09-20T12:40:25.348-04:002009-09-20T12:40:25.348-04:00Hey Sue!

It's both a blessing and a curse I guess when others understand because they go through it too, but it stinks because that means they know your pain, how bad it is, and how you feel because they suffer in the same way you do. I don't wish that on anyone!<br /><br />Feel free to cut/paste and fill this out on your own for Invisible Illness week! :-) I got it thanks to Teri Robert who posted it on My Migraine Connection!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523624189939691422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354919626925114303.post-40449502831977920962009-09-09T08:12:48.378-04:002009-09-09T08:12:48.378-04:00Thank you for writing this post.

I have been on Topomax and things have been going great but then my bloody migraines have come back and it is sooooo hard trying to work and manage pain. It feels like no one understands and it sometimes feels very easy just to give up.
