I had very bad migraine headaches in the 1970’s. I was in my 30’s and in graduate school. I was on Meprobamate and Tylenol #4 every four hours just to keep the pain away. About once a month I ended up in the Emergency Room for a shot of Demerol because the pain got so bad. The medications took my appetite away. I got down to 110 lbs. I looked like I was dying. I had seen 6 specialists and none of them could really help. My Mom and I had been praying for 2 years but it seemed like God was just ignoring us. Then I got a new doctor who insisted on taking the pain medications away because he said I was addicted to them. I had 3 pain pills left and that was it! I was devastated! I left the doctor’s office and went and bought a big bottle of wine and sat in my car and told God that I would probably become a wino because that was all that helped with the pain except the pills. I cried and prayed really hard. I went home with my 3 pain pills and the wine. I never had another headache! I never took the 3 pain pills that I was so “addicted to.” I finally threw them out. I also didn’t drink the wine until Christmas. God answers prayers but only in his time. So keep praying and don’t give up. I’m 79 and still haven’t had a headache! I’ll say a prayer for all of you who are suffering so badly with these awful migraines. I wish you all the best.
