Rant: Your little headache is not a "Migraine"

[Voodoo13]

WoW. Just stumbled across this. I have been suffering from migraines my whole life. They have gradually gotten horrifyingly worse. I am getting several different versions of Sumatriptan. Last was a derivative of this and cost $168.00 for 8 pills!!

My symptoms have progressed to if I dont have everything with me to hold off the headache before I get home, I usually will wind up in the ER with uncontrollable vomiting from the pain. I usually bring the bucket w/me lol, get seen faster.

If U want to DM me, I have made it a hobby to chart things that have worked, some consistently some not.

I have been to numerous doctors, neurosurgeons etc. I have described to them what I call a "pre migrane" state, which is the "Oh ish" time to start preparing and have found that I can even ward them off sometimes.

My newest doctor thought I was BSing untill I showed up in her office w/the bucket and crying my eyes out. So..Anytime I hear someone complaining about having a migraine while they are somewhere, I know is ish because if U have a migraine,U usually wind up in the fetal position in the dark somewhere.
