A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.

Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I guess you know the exact diagnosis: a head thing.
Maybe the perfect treatment for her too? Some drug or other, or maybe something else.
Probably remembers how they started, not when they started...
Nope. I asked about that, too.
I think she is probably right. Mine started when I read her response.
I think I can understand why this one was a referral.
@Packer - Same here!! I know when mine started, when I was 17. My daughter's started at the same age (this year) however, like my mother's migraines, her migraines are linked to hormonal cycles and have decreased with a low-dose hormone prescription (immediately, yay!!). She also responds well to Imitrex as do I. Now if mine would just get better. meh. But my neurologist has moved to Vandy & I got to see her yesterday, YAY!!
Thanks, once again, for the giggle.
Mine started in my teens, but I didn't realize they were migraines because I thought that for a headache to be a migraine, the victim had to get nausea and vomiting. When I learnt that not all migraineurs get GI problems and that the hallmarks of a migraine are visual disturbances like haloes, shooting lights and photophobia, I realized that I was a migraineur.
Wow, how precise she is (not). LOL
Mine started when I was younger too but I know when. I was 24, before that I had tension headaches for as long as I can remember. At 24 the migraines hit.
