Hello from a fellow Migrainer

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Rina and I have been getting migraines since I was 12. I used to take Fiornal and had no idea how good my migraines were until about four years ago when they changed for the worse. I am 38 now and last month I had 12 days of migraine and 5 of them were the puking kind. I see a neurologist and take Magnesium, Vitamin B-2, CoQ-10, atenolol, Diclofenac and last Sunday started birth control pills in the hopes that something will help. I also take Frova at the end of my cycle (they seem to be worse just after the period and around ovulation normally, but last month was a free for all). I have triptan, and have even resprted to Vicadin a few times.
Things have gotten so bad that I actually wake up now and think WOW I DON’T have a headache today. I decided to look into other things to try and so now see a chiropracter, got tons of books from the library and then decided to seek out the experts–you guys! I am very excited to belong to a group of people who understand and don’t think I am exaggerating, etc. I am not a sick type of person (I don’t do sick) and so that makes these migraines even more frustrating for me!
Other info about me..I am a sign language interpreter, teach ASL, and love to quilt and read. I look forward to getting to know you all and to learning all I can about migraine.
