Hi
I am Kate and live in Canada. I have constant migraines that are a huge factor in my life. Not that I want anyone else to suffer but it's nice to find others who understand.

@kathyec When I was a teenager I was given Fioricet for migraine pain. What I found was that I had rebound headaches worse than the original headache. Eventually in my 20's I was put on a beta blocker (blood pressure pill) My head felt like it was bleeding with these headaches. I would put my hand to my head expecting to find blood.I suffered so much and then I kept a calendar of my migraines. turns out they were mainly hormonal migraines. Years later I was put on Imitrex. That was a lifesaver! I had almost 40 years of dealing with migraines until I had a hysterectomy. I still get migraines but they are few and far between.
Here on Connect,there is usually someone in a similar situation as you. I have sent a message to the moderators to help direct you to the best group who also have a history of dealing with headaches/migraines. @justin McClanahan
