It is that time again. I have been in "remission" for 2 1/2 years and usually only have this in Jan or Feb. Why now, beats me. Maybe the Beast wants to remind me of what is coming after the first of the year. Lovely. I started back up 2 weeks ago and have been getting my Migranol going just in time to ward the Beast off. Now I am fighting with my Insurance Company over how many refills I can get a month. Obviously, they don't have this problem, so they can't appreciate it. Shelling out the money every 2 to 4 days for a refill can be almost as bad as the Beast, unless you have a lot of bucks to burn. Someday I would like to have that kind of money.
I have been out of touch with new developments related to dealing with this, so many pills, so little time. My doctor does not know a lot about it, and he has been going by the journals in treating me, but most of it has very little if any effect. I had an exceptionally bad visit with the Beast last nite, probably the worst one I have had and really need input on things other than Migranol and Stadol. Any help and good advice would be appreciated.
