Nine years of almost daily migraine, then it kicked in to daily since in 2012. Been that way ever since.

Have had migraines since age 8. Managed to get them down to about twice a month (yay!) then this one started 4 1/2 years ago. I will post here when it finally stops :)

Don't get down. The doctors may not know how to make it go away, but at least you aren't alone.

Early on I found this book, and found it both comforting (to know that i wasn't the only person) and somewhat informative. It gave me at least a few new things to try.

Bless you all. I hardly get them, but got one today that lasted a few hours (intense with photophobia) about 6-8 in total.

Ice pack pressed firmly against my right temple helped....a lot.
