This is Ari. I am a new person in this community. I have autism. Also, I get migraines in my head and also have migraines in my stomach. I thankfully have Buspirone and Propanolol which is doing its job to manage the pain. I have TMJ as well. I am going to be 19 years old on Jan 2nd. I love going to school and work. I work at Dairy Queen. I go to State College High School. I am in 12th grade. I am not graduating this year as I am going to do Super Senior year due to my disabilities and I do not have enough credits. I have receptive language issues and speech issues as well. I love to share my experiences of what I am going through.

Hello arigieros. Glad to hear that you have some medication helping with your migraines. I know that it can't be easy every day battling with migraines and having the world around you accepting who you are. Please take care of yourself and I hope you had a lovely Christmas and that you will have a good start to the New Year.

Thank you. I hope so. It is not fun for me to suffer migraine headaches and stomach migraines. Double whammy. Yes I have medication helping me. I will try and take care of myself, thanks. It is very hard everyday to battle this, autism, and so many illnesses. Very sensitive to lights, noise, smells, etc.

It’s good to see you are managing your pain. Stomach migrain is quite rare. Seems like you have double whammy. Happy birthday for the 2nd of Jan
