Hi, I just joined this support group.  My therapist suggested I look into joining.  I'm anxious since I can't always read or be on a computer due to my vertigo from my migraine.  But, it's very important to talk with others who understand what I'm going through.  I've been on disability since 96' from these migraines.  Mine are quite debilitating.  Mostly because many times they come out as vertigo.  I can't do much with being dizzy all the time.  I've been pretty housebound since I was 40 yrs. old.  It's extremely difficult.  I've been on tons of different meds. My cocktail of meds. right now is Topamax, Klonopin and Celexa.  They've been the best combination for me but still am pretty ill most times.  I just had 30 Botox injections with no benefit.  I feel that I could benefit from just being on some type of pain mgmt. like a patch or something w/some type of narcotic mild drug going slowly in me daily.  Why haven't they mentioned that to me yet?  I just mentioned it last week.  There has to be something. I shouldn't have to live this way.  I've always been one to try new things to help myself get well.  But, it seems like we're getting to the end of what they can do?  I've always been a fighter and I surely don't want to give into this.  When I have my good days I'm out trying to make the best of life.  It's just been a long time now and I'm getting  really tired and quite frustrated and depressed.  Any suggestions.  Most people that aren't ill just don't understand how crippling migraines can be.  Thanks for listening.
