Living with Migraine

hi,my name is jennifer but most people call me jen.My migranes began 7 years ago.I was healthy and had lots of energy.And one morning I woke up with the worsed headache of my life.I went to the hospital scared to death and they said it was a migrane.and since then it has been and long tough road for me.I have them at least 3 times a week.I go into the hospital for the shot a least twice a month.My docter has started me on topamax.It takes 2 months for you to feel the affects.Its supposed to prevent migranes.and she has put me on maxalt for the pain but my ins.company only covers 4 pills a month.so I suffer alot.We dont know what brought these on.And I’ve blacked out before and shook on one side and then tingled.I dont know what to do.I’ved suffered for so long.We have had mri;s done and everything is normal.But I dont feel normal.But maybe this is just how it is for me and maybe someday the pain will go away.! also go see my chiropractor twice a week.That helps.sometimes it feels like alot of fluid is in there but ctscans shows theirs not.And upon awaking in the mornings,they are so bad they wake me up they are just terrible I have to get up slowly and move very slowly.I guess I learned to live my life around them not to make to many plans to far an advanced.But hopefully the topamax will work.If anyone out there has this problem reads this and has any suggestions please respond.thank you.
