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...

Don’t take any drugs. !!!! They can cause more problems than you start with!!!Go the natural way always And in case you didn’t see my post Migraines are caused by a deficiency of B6. They work together tho so take a B150 every day and perhaps one extra B6 too It worked for me and I went through menopause without hot flashes , migraine blindness etc. I got mine from Puritan Pride but. All might be the same And got this info from Adelle Davis books which are not in print anymore but has a site on line. She’s the best. !!!
