I wish it would stop!!!!!!!!
it just never stops now
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

i'm sorry...? no, i am--i just don't know what else to say, and just that alone sounds lame or trite or cliche, i gather.
if you ever want to talk, i'm around. i've IMed you sometimes, but you're either gone or don't feel like answering.
hope you'll be ok.
my void does not want.

I haven't been ignoring you.... Sometimes I leave with the IM thingy still on.
I get migranes almost all the time now.... among other things....
I don't want to go back on the medication for them.... It is habit forming and "not good for me" to fall back into that pit....
I just wish it could stop.... even for a while....

There are "good" meds and "bad" meds. The good meds help you get past pain that your body hands you. The bad meds grab on and won't let go, giving you a few minutes of pleasure. Can you think of the migraine meds as "good" meds?
People take blood pressure meds, cholesterol meds, and lots of other "good" pills. As much as people don't want the side effects, a migraine can be much worse, totally knocking you flat. It sounds like you're under a lot of stress and don't need to worry about anything but relieving some of it.
Just a thought

I've pretty much had constant migraines since I was about 12. Some days they flare to the point that light from just a candle or the alarm clock is like staring at the focusing lens of a lighthouse when someone kicks in the beam. Most days it's a dull roar in the background, something that I understand will always be there and I've learned to deal with it. Compensating, I guess. But when the little things start adding up, and the frustration just goes through the roof, all that tends to rebound in at you, and the walls we build up to block out the pain come crumbling down.
I know how you feel, Marc. There's whole days I'd like to just hand this thing off to the next one in line, you know. There's times I'd rather crawl into bed, hide under the blankets and just let the world pass around me for a few days until I can handle it again. I guess that it's one of the reasons I try to stay calm these days, and try to help others find that calm and peace within themselves is that I know how that storm can hurt you from inside.
Those of you who have never had a migraine, or don't know anyone who does have them, consider yourselves most lucky indeed. I would not wish this grinding, constant, throbing, heavy agony on my worst enemy or the lowest villan of most vile and rancourous stripe. Pain meds can sometimes dull them down, but even that protection eventually wears thin as you become acclimated to them. I was taking codine at age 12, darvocets at 15 and even had to have a morphine injection when I was 17. I know that a lot of you may attempt to understand, but it's one of those things that you actually have to experience in order to despise. I mean, these days, if I get a muscle ache or a sprain that I have to treat with tylenol, I have to take 8 caplets to start, and 3 or 4 every five hours or so.
So I do sympathize with you, Marc. I hope you can find some peace as well to help you wait out the storm. It's not always easy, and it's never as simple as it sounds, I know. I had to learn whole levels of patience that I didn't even know I had in me. Perhaps medical science will find a cure for this one day. God, I hope so.....
You are in my thoughts and prayers, Marc.

I wish i could go to bed and rest it away but it hurts even more when I lie down. When I close my eyes the "light" from the pressure is as bright as daylight. I could take the medicine but it is very addictive and I dont want that problem hanging over me as well.
It has been weeks with it but the past 3 days it has been worse by the hour. I wish it would just stop.

I too, get headaches. I'm not certain that they qualify as migraines, but they can sometimes become quite intense. Mine are caused by sinus problems. The pressure builds up and can cause dizziness, blurry vision, and fatigue. I get so plugged up that I can't even draw a breath without opening my mouth. I can try to blow my nose, but sometimes nothing will come out and it causes the pressure to become worse. Medications can help, but I have built up a tolerance and have to take more than the recommended dosage. This is not good as they also raise my blood pressure. My doctor ordered me off of them telling me I could end up having a heart attack. So I quit taking them on a daily basis. But every so often, it gets so bad that I will take them for a few days. Often, this is enough to get past the worst of it and I can go off the meds again. perhaps during those times when your migraines are at their worst, you could consider taking the meds. Stop them before becoming addicted. Use them only to get past the worst days. For me, there are times when the benefits outweigh the consequences.

The medicine I have kind'a has a hook attached to it. Kind of like pulling in a fish. The closer you get to the boat the harder it is to break free.
I've been that route before.... Its not pretty.... I don't think that I could go through that again.
