About Me
I am 30 years old. Married for 5 years. I have had migraines since I was about 10. They have been pretty bad since I was about 16. I have been to several headache clinics with no real success. I think I have taken every migraine medication known to man - nothing works except pain meds/seizure meds. I take neurontin for preventive which used to help, I guess not so much anymore.
Interests
Traveling, shopping, golfing, gardening and spending time with family and friends.

I find so many similarities between your story and mine. I wish there was something someone could do for us. It's so sad doctors must treat everyone like a drug addict. If they could have their head smashed in a vice for 10 hours straight or even days straight, maybe they would have some compassion about the situation. I'm with ya Hurts365.

Close Migraine Headaches
Had migraines since I was about 10 - on and off through high school then got really bad from 18 to 30. Running out of things to try since I am so sensitive to medications.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Too Soon to Tell
- Trying to aboid wheat and gluten, eggs and blueberries.
- Imitrex Not Working
- Imitrex is from hell. I have never felt so bad in my life. Would rather have the migraine.
- Magnesium Not Working
- Raised my blood sugar level so high I had to take insulin.
- Nerve Blocks Working / Worked
- Very painful. First round worked well. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked since.
- Hydrocodone Working / Worked
- This seems to be the only thing that helps at this point.
- Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
- It kept me from having headaches all month. Not very helpful during menstrual cycle.
Close Eating Disorders
Type: BulimiaI started being bulimic when I was 9 or 10 (5th grade), hard to believe someone so young can develop this issue. Over the next 4 years it morphed into anorexia/bulimia. 14 was my first round of eating disorder treatment (1 year outpatient). Had 1 good year, then relapsed until I was 19 - 2nd time to treatment. Then on and off relapses until now. It always seems to be an issue, it's just something that never goes away.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Talking about it out loud just seems to click something in my head that makes it stop (for a little while).
