Kim my daughter has suffered from very frequent migraines since she was 6 years old! And this last year I joined her. Luckily it seems to get better for both of us but it’s so debilitating!

So sorry that you suffer from this affliction, Kim. I seem to have inherited this from my mom, but since retiring, I notice that I get them only about once a year. There is obviously a considerable relation to stress.

I’m sorry you get these too Pete. Even once a year is too much. I inherited them from my father and have had them since childhood. They were in part what forced me into early retirement/disability from my job as a children’s librarian. Long hours spent under fluorescent lights and in front of computer screens, and of course, stress definitely made everything wrong. Since retiring there are times when they’re a bit better, but all too often they’re just as bad. At least now though I can go lay down with an ice pack.

I have tried things like feverfew, St. John’s Wort, valerian, Sam-E… Feverfew seemed to work the best, but after about 8 months it stopped.

I have had migraines for 35 years. I took Botox but Aimovig works better. They have a program for those whose insurance won’t cover (or don’t have insurance). Maybe that would help?
