Mbo..what do you take for these migraines? I have been getting them since I was six years old..loosing eye sight as well..I am not 28..they are horrible..((hugs to you)) its amazing how many people don't really understand how dysfunctional one can become with a migraine..I have been going to doctors for years..been on every kind of medication known to man and nothing seemed to help..up until about a year ago..I was getting these migraines almost once a week..How often do you get them? My employers simply could not understand..they thought I had a simple headache..if you have a migraine you know better right? Anyways..my father in law is a doctor..and he finally stepped in and put me on a experimental drug that is now on the market for Migraines..it is actually a drug for epileptics..it is called Topamax..ever heard of it? well, since I have started taking it..although I still have an occasion migraine (it does not cure the migraines, it makes them happen less often) I now only have them every 6 months or so..they say if you have a migraine as often as twice a month this new drug is good for you..just a suggestion..again..(((Hugs to you))) I know how awful these things are..makes me sick to think about it and how bad you must feel right now..
