I keep the frig stocked and hired a house keeper but it's the emotional support I miss so much. The hugs and… read more

Migraines And Relationships. How Have Migraines Affected Them?
I have been in a few relationships and I can say from experience that some people don't want to deal with or be in a relationship with someone with Migraines.
I have had them tell me that my Migraines are a problem for them or that they don't want to deal with them. I didn't ask for them but I deal with them. How would they feel if they had them and someone treated them like that. This is why I no longer date. Not worth the hassle.

If You Were Bullied For Your Migraines, How Did You Get Over Your Depressing Feelings?
Classmates and teachers have bullied me for my migraines and lately I kinda feel like I’m just not wanted.

Triptan Overuse Rebound Headaches
What do you guys know about triptan overuse headaches?
I just learned of them from a nurse at my neurologist’s office. This had never been mentioned before by my neurologist and he prescribes me 30 rizatriptans per month and 7 frovatriptans per month, which covers my 20 migraines (if they decide to work). However, I had no idea that by taking the prescribed medication as directed, I could actually be causing more migraines. But if I don’t take them, I’m in excruciating pain and am… read more
I was having daily migraines that i was treating with rizatriptin. When i talked with my neurologist he ascribed to the MOU theory. I stopped taking triptins and took valproic acid for three weeks… read more
