My name is Cj, I'm 17 and have suffered with migraines since I was a young child. I have been seeing my neurologist since Spring of 2007 and nothing has helped with my migraines. Not only do I have migraines, but I just found out yesterday that I have Lyme Disease, and I have also been suffering from TMJ since 2007 and have chronic sinusitis. I have been on SO many medications, one being depikote which on top of the migraines made me gain 60 lbs in a little over 7 months  I later was told that depi isn't a medication they give young women. Would have been nice to tell me that before, ya think? I have been suffering from "Chronic Daily Headaches" since January, and literally it is a headache every day. Some days I can tolerate them, other days I take 2 migraine pills and off to bed. I'm currently on a regime of 10 mgs of Verapimill, 100 mgs of Topimax, and 50 mgs of Magnesium a day. My migraines became so bad in February that I left school, was going to the doctor almost every day, and ended up almost getting truancy tickets, although I had doctors excuses that said "We are unable to predict how long this will last" I guess you only understand if you live with them  I will be attending a virtual high school in the fall...hoping that works for me! Just hoping to meet others who I can relate to on here! Love & Hugs,
