Hi all, I just got out of my 4th or 5th appointment with my neurologist and she told me she's stumped and doesn't know what to do with me anymore. I'm so sad. I'm so angry. I'm only 20, trying to start my life. She said she'd talk to some of her colleagues and call me on tuesday but she looked hopel

I tend to experience more migraines during periods of high stress. I was talking about it with my therapist and we identified a pattern where I get immobilized by stress, then get a migraine because of a break in my routine. Then I really can’t do anything but lay in bed for days and wait until the

This year it was 2-3 times a week and seriously affected my ability to work and spend time with my kids/family. It landed me in the ER twice due to severe vomiting and dehydration. (the ER it

I have chronic migraines along with my epilepsy. I was having around 20 migraines a month but on Emgality they've gone down a lot and the severity is so much more manageable. For the last 4ish years, if I had a horrible migraine attack I'd take my Sumatriptan with some benedryl and it'd usually kil

I get migraines/headaches. I have 2 kinda similar genres of headache. One is pretty much the same as pre-epilepsy. It's got a distinct stabbing sensation in the side of my head, I can usually stop it or dull it with over-the-counter analgesics (particularly Advil 2). The other one started appearing
