My daughter has chronic migraines. She also has fibromyaglia, and POTS. She was awarded disability within two months. I am not sure if any one of them or the combination got her awarded for it. I know the migraines can disable a person. I have seen it first hand with my daughter. I wish you the best.

Thanks. I have chronic migraines, fibromyalgia, seizures, and depression and have been denied three times. I am waiting to take my case to court. Everytime I get denied its because I need to find an employer who is willing to work with me. It's frustrating.

Yes, I have been on SSDI since 2005. I had an attorney and she said mine went thru because I had so many years of documentation. I have seen alot of different Doctors and specialists over the years. My doctor was the one who suggested I try to get it because I had gotten to the point where being consistent at work was impossible. Finally got sent to Pain Management 4 years ago and do OK if I stay on meds. Find a good disability attorney and go from there. He or she will be able to tell you exactly what you need to do. Best of luck.

Yes I get social security disability because of my migraines. I cant work. I get daily migraines. Ive tried botox shots and they haven't helped. Ive also tried every migraine med around. The only one that works is imitrex injections. And the auto pen doesn't work I have to inject it manually using a needle. I can't take any narcotics because I got addicted to hydrocodone and had to go to detox and rehab for a month.. So no doctor will prescribe any narcotic to me. So that means the only thing I can take is Tylenol or Advil. Which doesn't help.
I do take Topomax 50 mg in the morning and 150 mg at bed, but it doesn't help. Ive been on Depakote for years, and I'm also on Magnesium and Riboflavin. Also on Migranie Stop from Amazon.com. Nothing seems to help. I just try to deal with the best I can. It is so hard.
