Kids don’t get headaches

I have had “headaches” ever since I was in third grade. Everyone said I was just a baby and wanting attention and that I was to young to get headaches.

Fast forward 50+years. After years of searching, trying everything I heard of and two neck surgeries my migraine are finally controlled (somewhat). I still go through periods of time where I fear the worst.

Days on end where medication, hair pulling, eyebrow pressure, essential oils only keep it manageable.

Now I am retired and travel. The hardest part is not having consistent access to my Dr. After finding this community I have renewed hope searching for treatments, relief and remembering I am not alone.
