Migraine Headaches Support Group
Migraine is a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
Ok, for 18 years I have suffered from these blasted migraines and they never seem to amaze the living hell out of me!!
I have been on Midrin and they seem to help before and now I am in so much pain I can't function. My muscles in my neck and shoulders are as solid as my desk and I am running a fever this time. I am sick to my stomache and just down right mean and I called the DR's office because the Midrin is on backorder at every pharmacy I went to this weekend..HENCE THE PAIN!!
I spoke to the nurse at the office and she asked me, ,"So what are you needed then" I told her I am on day 6 of a migraine and the Neuro wasn't going to see me until January, got it moved to the end of November and now I am being seen this week but I have 4 days more of this pain if he can't prescribe something that is stronger and in stock at the pharmacy's and the Hydrocodone 5mg is not working this time I need something stronger for the break through now that it has been this many days!! Oh this is day 6 by the way...
She almost made it sound like, "Oh then your seeking pain meds". I get so sick of this shit. I swear does one person that works in these Dr's offices ever suffer from what they are trying to help treat!!! I get told she will give the Dr a message and they will get back with me. I gave her my work number, which I am doing everything possible to be here right now, and told her I am here until 5, "So where can we get you after that" ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS!!! I gave her my cell and now I am on a hurry and wait. It is 2:30 almost and I have 2 1/2 hours to sit in agony then try and drive home!!

I really hate these painful headaches, and nothing i take seems to not help with the pain for very long. I understand how you feel so the frusteration is understandable.

I am very sorry that you are going through this pain. I know what it's like to suffer endlessly with no relief. I don't have any advice I just want to offer my words of support. I hope that you get some relief soon.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
