50 Years of pain

My migraine started when I was about 10 or 12 years old. Back then most doctors thought someone that age was just looking for attention. My mother knew better because all the women in her family suffered from migraines. We finally found a doctor that would loosen however there wasn’t much they knew about migraines Except to give you meds. I was given narcotics.
