I just came across this site today, and I am sitting here with tears rolling down my face. I am so glad to have found you all, nobody else can understand what we all go through. I am a 29 yr old woman who has had these headaches for 15 years and every year they get a little bit worse. What helped last year doesnt help anymore, and I wander aimlessly through my house night after night thinking about different ways to make the pain go away. I think maybe I will go and sniff all ten of my Imitrex and then I will have to go to the hospital and maybe they will knock me out. What seems stupid now doesnt seem that stupid at 3am with a pain so intense. My husband doesnt understand, he doesnt even try to. The person I am while these headaches occur is not the same person I am when they are gone. I sit around in sweatshirts and shorts, no makeup, and my hair a mess. My eye is always droopy, and there never seems to be enough energy for a smile anymore. I am glad to know that I am not alone anymore, and to everyone else out there, I understand, I offer my sympathy, and my hopes that you may experience a pain free night tonight.
