It's just so nice to know there are others out there feeling the same way I do. I have had migraines since I was seven. I am now twenty. Just when my life is actually beginning(you know, college, job, etc.)I still have this haunted feeling everyday. What if I get a migraine? Even the slightest tension headache scares me because I know what it can turn into. I HATE this. I am sick of living with that fear. I shouldn't have to. No one should have to endure that pain and fear. I don't even want to have children, partly because I'm afraid I would pass this terrible curse to them. I miss school sometimes because of them, and just yesterday I had to come home from work two hours early with one of the worst ones I've had in a long time. I could barely drive. I'm sick of this. It has affected my whole life. I'm just finally glad to know someone knows how I feel. I feel so stupid telling my boss I have to go home because I have a headache. I feel like people think I'm making excuses. Well, thanks for listening.
