Hey! I'm new here, obviously. A little about me- I'm 30, happily married for almost 9 years now, and I have 2 beautiful daughters (ages 3 and 2). Like flipping a light switch, I had chronic hemipelegic migraines start during the 2nd trimester of the pregnancy with my first. Ever since then, I've had average of 4-6 migraines per week. Seeing a neurologist who specializes in migraines and have tried many things so far, but nothing that really seems to make a big impact. We will continue trying, but in the meantime, here I am. I had to quit working as a dental hygienist because of the migraines and am in the process of applying for disability, but still waiting for a hearing. Ughhh. Anyways, glad to have found this forum and y'all. Hope y'all are having a blessed day!

@OllivandersMama Welcome to the community and I wish you good fortune on the turnout of your hearing. I hope you will find some of the help and support you may need in this family. We have some really wonderful people here.

 
Hope you find some relief and good luck to you with disability, don’t give up like I did years back and now have to start over the process . It can be a very long process but worth it in the end! ❤️

 
Hello. I don’t know much about hemipelegic migraines in particular, but considering they started suddenly during pregnancy, it might be hormone related. Hormonal treatment greatly reduced my own chronic migraines, so if nothing else is working it might be worth looking into. Even though you weren’t asking for advice, I wanted to share since most neurologists don’t try this route in treatment. Hope no offense was caused. Either way I wish you the best of luck.

 
Welcome. This siye seems a little lackluster. But it is a wealth of information and informed people

Thanks y'all! Sorry I'm just now replying. This site is pretty confusing for me and honestly I had no idea how to get back here until now. But thanks for the support and encouragement! To answer a couple of your questions, I did finally get a SSD Hearing for Dec 16th, so yay!! 🤞 As for my migraines being hormonal, we haven't TOTALLY written that off, but that was first road we went down for testing etc. , but unfortunately no answers so far. And definitely no offense at all! I'm almost to the point where I'm ok to never really know what's causing them. From other people with these kinds of migraines, I've heard from their extensive research that there can be a gene that we are born with that will either trigger randomly at some point in our life or in some people, it never reveals itself. I don't know.

@OllivandersMama Yay for a hearing! Someone i know was recently accepted for disability for severe recurring migraines.  And hemiplegic migraines are so scary. Hopefully you have found at least some relief since your last post!! 

And as far as this forum being confusing, i'm not sure if you've tried using it with a laptop/desktop but i find it makes a lot more sense in that format than a mobile.  It also helps if you go in your account settings and play with your notifications so that you are alerted when people post on your topics or message you and whatnot.  I really really hope you get accepted for disability and that you have at least some relief!!! Good luck and stay strong!

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
