I am so fed up right now. I've been suffering from migraines for the last 7-8 years. I'd get lucky and maybe only get one 3 times a year. That's changed this year, apparently. About two weeks ago I went to the doctor because I was starting to have them more frequently. He put me on some medication to take twice daily, to help prevent them. I haven't skipped a pill yet. I had one last Saturday morning, last night, and I'm about to get another one right now as I type this. I can tell. Mine always start out the same way: I get an aura, which is something that blocks part of my vision. Right now it looks like the outline of a big colorful blob is blocking half of my vision right now. Once that goes way, the headache starts and then I'll get sick about 80% after that goes way. Mine rarely last that long, which is a plus I guess. But I'm really pissed off right now, that I'm on medication and it's not WORKING!
