My name is Lisa and I'm 41.I have had migraines for 12 years.No one in my family but me have migraines and I'm the only one to have had a stroke. Lucky me lol.I used to eat pain pills like they were candy but I was lucky enough to go to the Cleveland Clinic and they got me off of pain meds.

 
I have to watch what I eat, MSG,and chocolate is a big no no.The weather and little sleep affects it too. It's hard sometimes with the pain but you just have to live life to the fullest one day at a time because some days are worse than others.
