Life time battle

I first started getting migraines as soon as I hit puberty and when I hit 18 years old my migraines changed to daily chronic migraines and I have been battling it ever since. I have had a lot of strife with my migraines even being told at one point as it was all in my head. Which I said of course it is it really hurts. And I have had problems where people think I'm just cruising for drugs.

I've been emitted into the hospital for having migraines that have no relieve that have lasted for several days.  And now I do botox injections every 3 months that have given me a little relief I am currently having migraines 3-4 times a week which is better than daily.

I just really hope my daughter don't have this same problem, but it runs in my family I got it from my fathers mom and it skipped my father to me. But, at the same time my sister don't have them
