DEAR MIGRAINE FRIENDS: As you see here by my email address and name...I am new to this group...I kind of found you by accident....fate huh?? lol....sorry to hear there are so many out here like me, but to be honest, I am somewhat relieved too....it is nice to exchange views and medication history with the hopes we can tell our doctors something to try that just may work finally. I am a 36 year old woman, divorced raising 3 young children.....about a year and a half after my separation is when I took sick (was back in University, taking my 4th degree in Cell Biology and Genetic Research---ironic huh?) I was on top of the world!! When my migraine began, they thought it was connected to a new TMJ problem...that was quickly removed as cause.....I have a damaged nerve from a fall off a horse many years ago---this was what the 1st Neurologist figured caused the migraine---he said the nerve had lied dormant for many years, until stress or a fall "activated" it.....then about 2 years ago while my family doctor was on Maternity leave, a young, just out of med school doctor, did some further tests on me and found me to have Fibromyalgia---she said my migraine was how the disease was manifesting itself in me.....she sent me to another neurologist from Scarborough---involved in Migraine Foundation of Toronto and also a leading expert now in Fibromyalgia. After many many different drugs and side effects---some very damaging....I am now on "Stadol" for pain...and Zoloft to balance emotional levels. I am waiting to go on Wellbutrin as I had been on Zyban awhile back to quit smoking...that was the very first anti-depressant that really seemed to help me---gave me back my natural energy levels and thought process was much clearer. Ok, friends, seems like I have written a novel here, so I shall say good bye for now...I look forward to hearing and sharing more with each of you. Thank God you are here!! My Warmest Regards Roxie email---roxie@... ICQ# 3546246 POWWOW--I often am in a disability room called "Nutz Among The Berries"...people with many forms of disability/disease/conditions.
