I used to have killer migraines, and wow, these suckers totally saved me. I am on something called Topamax. Get the generic, and depending upon the insurance, it's not much at all. You can probably take as low as 25 mg a day and be headache free forever! (Ok, well I get the occasional "pre-migraine" now, but that is cake compared to before, and it's all my fault most of the time anyway, because stress is a a trigger.)<br /><br />See if your PCP will give you a referral to a neurologist. It's not a bad thought...and maintenance meds are cheaper in the short- and long-term, too!<br /><br />p.s. Thx for your lovely note back there. Things are getting better. I created a nice resume and portfolio and we're moving to Philadelphia in the summer. It helps to, like you mentioned, have things to look forward to, feel a sense of accomplishment, etc.! And my portfolio is totally coming along, too. Just have to keep the momentum.<br /><br />(I hope you will share photos of San Fran when you go, or at least when you come back, too.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451084135153101125.post-22634557595574554192011-05-25T22:22:56.706-04:002011-05-25T22:22:56.706-04:00My mother has suffered from migraines her whole li...My mother has suffered from migraines her whole life so although I haven't personally felt the pain, I understand the frustration in dealing with them.<br /><br />I hope this medication continues to bring you relief!Randall @ Happy For This Momenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641122256831489079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451084135153101125.post-11369507676316706212011-05-25T22:09:56.100-04:002011-05-25T22:09:56.100-04:00Glad you found some relief!
