Hi
I am not in the state of California but what I did was to document all my migraines. When I would have them, what time they occur and how long they lasted, how bad they were, what I took for them, if I went to the ER with them, and if I remembered what I was doing before I had them. I also documented which side they were on and also the pain that I was in. I did this fight to get disability for my migraines it took at least 6 times applying for disability to get it. I didn't use any lawyer. I even went in front of a federal judge and with the Voc tech person telling the judge there is no place that will let her lay down for 4 hours and go back to work well they denied me. After that I got a call from someone saying she get headaches I told her to multiply hers by 10 you have mine the next day I got my disability for them. I also learned I could have gotten disability from the military service that I was in, which I applied for because they were the ones that diagnosed me and I am getting it now only years later.
I turned all the documents into social security when I applied for disability. When I was done I have at least 10 notebooks and stacks of paperwork.
What you also have to do is keep those records because you will be re-evaluated in 3 to 5 years. And that is what I did. I had at least 4 notebooks and I printed out a calendar for the whole year that I would put times on that I had my migraines. The notebooks would have what I took, when I took it and if it helped.
I have had my migraines now for 50yrs and at that time they didn't have a class for my migraines now it would be chronic migraines. I have been put on so many drugs and experimented with. I now take only sumatriptan shots, use peppermint oil and sometimes caffeine. My bed is still my best friend. I had a doctor once tell me they will go away once you are in menopause didn't happen.
I hope this helps you. Prayers that you get it. I wouldn't wish these on anyone.
