Even though there are several migraine drugs available to abort a migraine (i.e. triptans), the problem is that the migraine still takes place.

I have had these for YEARS and am convinced that each time I have had to decline an invitation or call in sick to work, they think I am lying. I was so relieved that when I went for an MRI (for a different issue) lesions were seen on my brain and the neurologist said "that's common in Migraine sufferers" -see world, I'm not lying!!! Only a migraine sufferer would understand..... Thanks be to god that someone is doing something about this.

I have seen 3 different neurologists and one professor and they all failed to even find the problem never mind fix it. Been on countless amounts of drugs and non worked in the long term . Was told that all they can do is relive the symptom. Migraines are not for the weak. For they bring the strongest to there knees.
