Just saying hi. My head's been really bad for a few days now and I'm trying to face going in to work. Not sure I can do it. I could really use someone to talk to. Are these boards good? Does anyone know of any others?

I think they are pretty good. This is the only message board I use, but then it's the only one I know about to do with migraines. Welcome friend :o)

Hi :) I am new to these boards as well..I was hoping to find a chat site for migraine sufferers but couldnt find one here in australia...and i do agree talking to someone who suffers the same makes it so much easier, as no one can understand the pain, stress of having a migraine

I am also fairly new to this chat site, and the only one I have been on. I am finding support for my migraines and it is nice to talk to people going through the same things I experience.
Generally, when I tell other people around me, whether it be family or people I work with I have a really bad headache, they look at me funny and say " take some tylenol" like that is all that there is to it, and I can't tolerate the "simplest" pain!!! Funny huh!! Here I don't have to deal with that and people understand each other, so welcome!!!

I too joined this site looking for a chat room of sorts and there is a way to do it but I don't think you are in a big chat room. I think you pick a person and chat with them individually. Hopefully they will create the chat option for us.

It is several days later and I was wondering if you are ok. How did work go? Did you get to go? I understand completely what you are going through.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
