Migraines

I have migraines all the time.  I get 5-10/mo… usually seven or eight.  I’ve never known anybody who has them like I do, but I just found somebody who did!  

I sent out an office-wide email asking for Imitrex the other day, and Georgie responded that while she didn’t have any, she understands migraines.  Then proceeded to tell her story, with is very much like mine.  

Her migraines eventually stopped when she went through menopause.  I tell this to people, and I’m excited, and they don’t think I should be b/c it means I’ll have migraines for the next forever.  

I’ve been worried, though, about the amount of Imitrex I take, about the number of migraines I get…  Georgie took all that Imitrex and she’s fine.  And eventually the migraines stopped.  

I’m pretty happy about it.  I think I’m going to see if my doc will proscribe some birth control pills… maybe that would temper them even further.  I take a beta blocker for my Marfan Syndrome, and it’s a migraine preventative anyway, so he raised my dose to see if that would help.  I still have them.  Am having one right now, as a matter of fact.  Sucky.
