That's what I'm saying. I'm not afraid to move back, but the thought of not going to Purdue for Josh…

Close Migraine Headaches
I started to get migraines in 7th grade after a skiing field trip. I fell down the slop and hit my head three times (according to witnesses) and blacked out after the first hit. I don't remember much until I started getting the mirgaines. I've tried almost everything to help with the pain I still experience today. I found something that works but can no londer afford it. I've always wondered if my migraines come from damage in the brain, but no doctor seems to want to give me tests to find out.
Treatments
- Aspirin Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes it helps my migraines, other times it just hurts my stomach.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- I certainly watch what I eat now, but I wouldn't say I've had dramatic results because of it. I try to stay away from hot dogs as much as possible because they seem to always trigger a migraine.
- Caffeine Somewhat Helpful
- Normally caffeine is in some of the medicine I take...I don't think it helps too much.
- Excedrin Not Working
- It used to work for me and then it just stopped.
- Imitrex Not Working
- I took Immitrex and had the worst side effect ever. I thought I was going to die. I haven't taken it since.
- Midrin Working / Worked
- So far this is the only medication that has helped me. My doctor has me take two at the sign of a migraine and one more every hour till I take five, unless I don't need to. Normally after taking the two I feel better in a half hour. It only didn't work once, and that is when I went to the ER.
- Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
- I used to take Aleve, but then my migraines got worse so I had to take stronger medication.
- Topamax Somewhat Helpful
- Topamax kinda helped me in the beggining, but I started to gain a lot of weight and sleep a lot. It also made me feel sick constantly.
- Tylenol Somewhat Helpful
- Acetaminophen kinda helps when I have a light headache.
- Midol Somewhat Helpful
- I lost my health insurance so I can't take Midrin until I get it back. I've been desparte to help the pain, so I took a Midol because I was also having cramps. To my surprise about an hour and a half later the cramps were gone and my migraine pain decreased dramatically. It doesn't work all the time, but when it does it's really worth it.
Close Bereavement - Teens
I saw my best friend die at age 17 due to Cystic Fibrosis. I walked in the room when he flat lined and they couldn't bring him back.
Treatments
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes it helps, but it doesn't make the pain go away.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes listening to certain songs it makes me cry because I think of him.
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- My dog wouldn't leave my side. He helped a lot.
- Remembering Working / Worked
- I try rememebering the good times and not the bad.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Most of my friends really didn't understand the position I was in and my family didn't either.
- Talking Working / Worked
- It helps a lot.
- Time Working / Worked
- It's been two years now and though I wil always miss him, the pain has lessened.
