Ok, so I have suffered from crippling migraines since I was about 15 (6 years). I have lost at least my last 3 jobs and am on the verge of losing the one I have now beause I am SO sick, and when i get a migraine I am out of commission for the rest of the day, sometimes 2 days. I can't work, I can't function..I basically have to hole up in my dark room and wait it out. I usually wind up in the ER on an average of 1-2 times a month. I was 'officially' diganosed about 2 years ago by a neurologist and have not responded to ANY conventional migraines drugs; I am now taking Vicodin for the pain, plus a medication for the nausea. Anyway, it isnt uncommon for me to get a migraine when I am stressed and I'm finding that these panic attacks sometimes bring them on as well. Sometimes I find it is a vicious circle..I will have a panic attack because I THINK I am getting a migraine, then get a migraine from the panic attack and then being having panic attacks from the migraine and the panic attacks!! :boxem:
Anyway..Im wondering if anyone has heard of these things being related? I would love it if there was some hope for me to at least lessen the frequency of these puppies..right now I can expect anywhere from 1-3 a week :doh:
