Hi Carrie ( guessing )

Welcome to the best little nut house around, we all don’t really want to be where we are but here you will find all the help and friendship you may need.

Tell us about yourself & what you use for aborting the beast, I use oxygen and it works a treat for a lot of us.

Kind Regards
Barry

Welcome to the board Carrie, sorry to see you here, but you have came to the right place for help/support.  What are you currently using for meds?Preventatives/abortives?  

Here's a good link for treatment info:  http://www.aafp.org/afp/20050215/717.html

Best of luck to you, anything you need, don't be afraid to ask.

Welcome to the asylum Carrie. Curious what you use for treatment and if it works. I use oxygen and cafergot as abortives, lithium when on cycle as a preventative. (It's neat cuz the pharmacists talk reeeeeeal soft and quiet to you when you pick up your lithium!) Anyway, read up, make a friend or two, bitch and moan when you feel like it, take your shoes off and make yourself at home!

The logical side of me knows it's BS, but every time I have a long remission I start thinking, just maybe. I just finished a 2 year remission also, went into a two week funk when they came back. So yeah, been there done that, and I'll do it again I'm sure!!!! Good luck with the kids, sometimes I think they suffer as much as we do!
