My New Life
I suffered since I was 19. I am 56. Three days a week crying, puking, my head in a basket.
What has my migraine treatment looked like?
I went to several doctors. Many doctors made me feel like I was just another patient without a real problem. Some were so unsympathetic.
I tried everything from acupuncture to every remedy and prescription you could imagine. I was sent to a new migraine specialist - she did a bubble test on me.
What did we find out?
It turned out I had a hole in my heart (which is very common for migraine sufferers; Ted Brewesky, a football player had the same thing). My heart was fixed. I still get an occasional migraine but most are controllable.
