I am SO happy to have found this forum! I'm 33 and have been suffering with migraines for 20 years - since the onset of puberty. My triggers are hormones, stress, weather, too much sleep, too little sleep, light, sounds, smells, everything! In my mid-20s, after detoxing from excedrin and turning into an adult with stress, my migraines turned into daily chronic migraines.

I'm sick of cutting out foods, been on beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, neurontin (which kind of worked - kind of), massage, bio feedback. I take 1-2 fioricet daily (big no no I know) but it usually helps. I've had CT scans, MRIs and saw a lot of neuros in my earlier days. I have one last hope (okay a bit dramatic) at the headache pain clinic at U of Michigan hospital in a month. I'm okay with meds and I hope I get good ones! As we all know life must go on!

Due to the (changing) weather here in the midwest, and stress at work, im on day 12 of a full blown migraine and I'm about to lose my...stuff!

Thanks for the venting intro. I'm sure my family is sick of me complaining ever day - especially since my mom can take one, yes one, tylenol and feel better. A tic tac would do more for me.

GOOD Writing! The Combat Formula thread. This is a recreation of the previous combat formula thread. In this thread, we discuss the formula that calculates one's combat level, using the levels in the combat skills. This formula is not exact, but it does have a very high accuracy. Our goal is to improve it so that it becomes exact. The formula runescape gold can help you calculate your combat level, for any combination of combat skills you like.

INTERESTING NEWS: Jagex puts up a Wallpaper containing something that appears to be an estimate of the combat formula Runescape money. Our data suggests that it is not the actual formula, but it does seem to confirm bits of our formula. Feel free to discuss it here in this thread Want to buy rs gold pls check it~~keep working!

Hello,

I hate them too! I have tried all of the same meds as you. I have even tried Depakote...now I am trying Bystolic. Do you think it is working? No...In fact my head and whole body are hurting so bad that I am wondering how I am going to take care of my kids today(my husband is at work). I feel your pain and I feel so much better to know that there are others out there, although I don't wish it upon anybody!!! Keep your head up even when you feel like you aren't going to make it.
