Hi, I'm new here, and desparate. I have suffered from "THEM" for 7 years now and I am beginning to think I always will.
Do "They" stop as quickly as they start? Will they ever stop? (Will my husband always be sympathetic?)
Can anyone who doesn't suffer from them really have the patience and understanding to go through their
lives putting up with it? My Husband has the patience of a saint, but I can not believe he will always understand,
especially when I refuse to go out with him during an episode, and he has to force me to carry on working
when I am refusing to go every morning. I am feeling pretty low at the moment. I am 2 weeks into this particular battle,
getting 3 or 4 attacks per day. I'm not sleeping. I'm snappy with everyone. I won't go anywhere or do anything.
What can I do to stop this nightmare?
I visited a website called reliefzone.com where they are selling a piece of "equipment" called the relaxica.
It is worn on the head during bouts, and supposedly instantly relieves the pain. Has anyone heard of it? Can it possibly work?
It costs $69.95, and I don't want to waste any money, but at this stage I will try anything - but then I guess that's what
they hope you will do!
Any help or just a response would help me right now.
Hubby says he understands, but he can't do!
