As you may know, I went to see Doctor Young on the 10th of september. we are now the 21st or something and already i am seein a marked improvement in my migraines. I have had far less frequent migraines *only something like 6 or 7 in 11 days as opposed to 11 in 11 days! LOL . And they have, for the most part been a pain level 4 or 5 /10 rather than my regular 7s. They are shorter in duration, my longest being 32 hrs, as opposed to my usual 3 status migrainous attacks per month! My worst migraine since doctor Young was yesterday, and it got knocked out with a coffee today... easy as pie. This is amazing. Not a single ER trip since then! trust me, this is good for me! And the neat part is, Im only on half my recommended dosage*I'll reach my recommended dosage in 2 weeks* Can't wait to see what'll happen when i reach my full dose!

I'm really happier... depression isnt as evident and hubby notices a difference in me, so he couldnt be happier for me.

So thank you Teri for telling me about Dr Young,
and thank you Dr Young for knowing enough to prescribe me topamax!


all my love to you all
