Why? How to Sustain a Life?

I'm new to blogging but feel very alone. I think my family and friends view me as weak or depressed; not a migraine sufferer. I've had a migraine, that fluctuates between a 1 and 10 on the pain scale for literally the entire month of December! Today was particularly bad; an 8. I left work early to get an infusion at my neurologist's office of toridol and steroids, which helped lessen the pain a few weeks ago! Again though, it has never gone away!! Leaving work is stressful! I don't get paid then! Etc... I'm sure you all get it!! I'm hoping tomorrow that I can work and then maybe go to the doctor!! Any advice??
