No History

I apparently inherited migraines from one or both of my biological parents. Over the past 10 years I have attempted contact with my birth mother through our state, but she's denied contact each time.

I only desire medical information so maybe my neurologist can help treat my migraines better. It's very frustrating to have suffered from these since 7 years old! I miss a lot of work, can't be a good mother, become irritable with friends and family and just retreat into the dark like a vampire. It's not fun and I really worry about my daughters getting them.
