Thanks!

I have Spordic Hemiplegic Mirgrains and my neruo.doctor has told me I am the most severe case he has ever seen and he is the best neruo.doctor where I live. I take over 20 meds a day and night. Most of the time they dont work and also dont know why. I have been admitted 5 times in 6 months and been treated numerous times in the ER and discharged after I get loaded with pain meds. I now have to go to Gainsville,Florida,which is a 8hr. drive one way. The best thing I can tell you is to really educate yourself about this type of migrain,also educate yourself about what your meds. are.Pay close attention to the symptoms and let the treating phsycian at the ER know that you have this type of migraine so they can treat it right. Educate your family and friends so they will know what to do. Remember ever case is different. Good Luck!!
