So happy to finally have found an active forum! Have been lurking around for some time already and will be participating more actively now. already learned a lot from reading other's experiences.
so a little about myself. I am 22 years and from Norway but right now I am doing a degree in Forensic Psychology in England. Right now trying to find a job with my bachelor degree (which is done in 3 weeks) but nothing doing. I am qualified for nothing.. but I really need a year off. Hope I will find a job beeping groceries or something. I have had migraines for as long as I can remember but the really tough headaches and nausea started when I was around 10. However I wasn't diagnosed and treated until I was 19. More on that later. Now I am on beta blocks to stop the onset of migraines and have 3 different medicines for when they do come. As it's only about 2 years since I was diagnosed and even heard about triggers so I am still trying to map them. So far I have overheating, oversleeping, too much soda, sun in my eyes and a specific red spaghetti sauce (just the one type). Luckily I have a great doctor who has migraine herself and really understands. We have had some trouble finding a medicine that relieves the seizures but I think we got there now. Fingers crossed! |

Welcome to the forum family Kirsti
 I'm so happy you found us and you decided to post instead of lurk! You've found a fantastic place for migraine information and support. Everyone here understands what you go through. I think it's great you have a doctor that can relate with you too. I'll get you started with some helpful links: Learning about Migraines-Where to Start Types of Headaches and Migraines And, a great tool for you and your doctor to help track triggers, the effectiveness of your medication and any patterns to your migraine is a migraine diary. If you have any questions, just ask away! Welcome again  Laura Forum Moderator ***You're welcome to enter your birthday, etc in the Celebrate folder so we can party with you!! =) ***  |
