thank you for =your repsonses, I appreciate very much people on this forum as they seem so ready to help
.
I am a bit overwhelmed , I have not done much to help my migraines as I have been too discouraged having more than a few drs dismiss my pain and finally I was referred to a neurologist who wants me to go on anticonvulsants
(gabapentin?)but
has not really addressed my migraines... I haven't taken them yet as I am scared and extremely sensitive to medications
I am on an antidepressant, and an anti anxiety medication .Therapy, though, not going very well, unfortunately! long story short I im planning to ask for another therapist , she is often dismissive of how much anxiety and pain I have every day
. she tells me I look just fine!
I get a migraine about
once a week with auras? (I hallucinate, see things like spots) and they last about 3 days .I feel as if I am never well. I am always either about to get a migraine or getting over one! my pain is pretty much every day , but at the peak of my migraines , the pain is unbearable -so painful that I have considered ending my own life
.
these very scary thoughts have been coming more often now during a migraine so I am realizing these "headaches " are much more than headaches and can possibly kill me!
i feel its time to get serious about getting help and starting here ,on this forum, I think
I ve gotten so much great information and support already! so I am hopeful and not ready to give up...
