Hello,

I was searching the Internet looking for a migraine specialist in the place where I live. I found this site and thought it would be nice to talk with others who know what I have been dealing with since October 2000. I have tried all kinds of preventive medications, but nothing worked yet. So I thought I would sign up to say Hello and start reading and talking with others in the discussion forums.

Welcome AfShortie--

You'll find an unbelievable amount of wonderful, helpful information about migraines on this site. That's especially important because, as a migraineur, the best thing you can do for yourself is be very educated about your disease.

If you don't already have it, I would recommend you obtain a copy of Living Well with Migraine Disease and Headaches by Teri Robert. It's on sale right now online, and IMHO is the best book available out there (I own almost all of the others too).

We'll be looking forward to your posting around the site.

Welcome to the forum.

Do you keep a migraine diary? There are some wonderful information and templates here.

You may want to check out the article on migraines and medications here . It also includes a link to a Medications Management Workbook, which is great to keep updated during your journey to find the right balance.

See you around.

Hello and welcome!

I see you've been offered the link to our specialists directory. I don't know where in Virginia you are, but I have a couple of friends who see Dr. Stark in Alexandria and speak very highly of him.

Welcome again!

The generally long periods of time between my Migraines are the result of working with a Migraine specialist to refine my preventive regimen. You can see my current regimen HERE.
