Migraines...

[shannon730]

For those that don't know I've had chronic migraines since I was 14. I spent more days a week with a migraine of varying degrees than I did without one. My mom took me seriously as a kid when I complained about the pain and other symptoms, the rest of my family didn't. My dad bitched like you wouldn't believe about every doctor bill he had to pay,

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. As a migraine sufferer myself, (though to nowhere near the degree you have to deal with) I know how completely debilitating they can be. I wish with all my heart that there was something I could do to help.

Thanks, Kathy, I actually get migraines of different degrees of pain it's more about the consistency of the them. I had one Monday that started about noon not so bad and just kept getting progressively worse until Wednesday. Yesterday I woke up completely pain free. Today I woke up feeling someone is beating a hammer against the back of my eye and like I will kill Delilah if she barks. But I can get out of bed and watch TV and do this for a few minutes before the glare kills me. So yeah, a lot of it is about just always having pain.

OMG, Shannon. I am so sorry. That sounds fucking awful.

Thanks, Lorraine. And yes awful. I my dad's family has always told me I never look happy, but seriously, do they realize how much constant pain beats you down.
