I have a headache 24/7 with migraines once or so a week. and have had this for over 6 years. I still work 40 hrs a week and I am a mom and wife. I am not sure how to deal with this any more. I am tired, scared, fustrated and just do not have the umph to hide the pain any more. Do others feel this way? I am good at hiding my pain for the most part.

MINE STARTED WHEN I HAD MY TBI/BRAIN INJURY. THAT WAS IN MARCH OF 2006. I GET THEM EVERYDAY. SOME MODERATE, SOME MIGRAINES.
I do not currently work right now, but I am looking. There are limitations, however. because of symptoms it is not safe for me to drive, and I have to scope out the lighting situation whereever I go.
I am lucky with that. :)
