Bowz, are you sure social services won't help you out with the cleaning thing? I was speaking to someone in chat a while back that used to come in a lot. She was Canadian and had someone come into her home from social services Mon/Wed/Fri. She wanted additional help because she was moving, they refused that, however she definately had in home help three days a week. Had a bad back or something as I recall.

The migraines you wake up with are the WORST. I would definately discuss it with the doctor. I have immotrex (sp) and maxalt in my nightstand drawer so I can find them with my eyes closed. My daughter takes topamax on a daily basis to keep hers under control.

I'm so sorry that your mother has let you down again. Don't you have any other family or friends that can help you out in situations like this? Forgive me for voicing my opinion on the subject, but your mother strikes me as a very manipulative and self centered woman. She only wants you when you can do something for her and she seems hell bent on destroying her life and taking you with her. Bless you for continuing to give her the benefit of the doubt but I think you need to establish a better irl support system.
