Migrains

[Special Ed]

Ummm....wow....sorry to hear all of that. I hope there's some way to get all of that fixed (though I'm guessing not, eh?).

No fix. Still holding out some hope, but doesn't appear to be getting any better. I'm at 1 year, 3 months post surgery. Little change. Worst part, I look "FINE", nobody can understand.

I' m quite perplexed...
Until 3 years ago I did not know what a migraine was.
I do now.
However, we on the forum are quite a small sample of the population, and yet, there seem to be a lot of us and our family members affected by them.
How widespread is this issue in the general population???
Has it always been?
Looks like everyone and thier dog have a migraine these days...
One would expect the docs would have figured out a common treatment by now, but they seem to be so subjective it is a shot in the dark...

I know like 15-20 folks that get 'em out of 200. It's enough that there should be a hell of a lot more migraine specialist dr's in practice, and there just isn't.
There's a whole mess of different reasons for migraines, and things like cluster headaches, etc., get lumped in with migraines since most folks equate migraine with really bad routine headaches.

Yowsers. Just catching up. gnihcraes, prayers go out to you.

...and now I feel like a pussy. ;-)

I can just see someone driving by this forum and saying, "See. These gun nuts really are messed up in the head!"
