      <p>Thank you, having support from a team like yours and a place to find others like me where I can also release my feelings is sometimes just what you need. I'm waiting to see another specialist in July but it can't get here soon enough. Daily life is becoming more difficult every day but my family is here to support me, so one day at a time. One day!</p>

   <p>Dear Migraine as usual, Joanna's blog links are excellent to encourage you and give you some means of relieving the chronic pain. I hope the specialist, you will see in July, can provide you with a medication to help with the frequency and intensity of your migraines. As Joanna said, there are a lot of combinations to try. I would share what has helped me, but if it is something you have already tried, you would be discouraged. Keep educating yourself, when you can. Sincerely, jcanchor</p>

   <p>I feel so much for you. Helpless, and angry feelings I'm getting much to acquainted with. I had a horrible, humiliating experience just one night ago. I was called a junkie to my face by the Nurse Practice who was supposed to be helping me because I have debilitating chronic migraines. I hope you find relief soon. Hang in there.</p>

   <p>The feeling of helplessness is defeating and miserable and I can understand why chronic migraine can make you feel that way. But, to be helpless means that there is nothing we can do to make our situation better or easier and you have done some things: you reached out to this community and got support, and you made an appointment with a specialist (and I imagine you have done many other things as well). I find it important to remind myself of the efforts I have made and making to live the best life I can with chronic migraine because, if I don't do this, I begin to feel powerless and despondent. I also need to remember that feelings don;t always correlate to the truth. You can't you cure migraine but that doesn't make you a helpless wimp - you're a warrior!</p>
