Hi, I am a chronic migraine sufferer. Every 14 days or so, lasting 3 days each then the couplemofndays recovery. I have been down an experimental path for many years now (5). Nothing worked. The severity of pain is so bad that I cand even keep still, I roam around the course crying and screaming in pain, my partner sometimes has to lock all the doors in the house. I am happy to give you all the list of treatements I have tried. My question is this. One day I went to my doctor during an attack so she could see what I go through. And she prescribed a drug called endone. It worked! The pain was managed, I hated the drowsiness as I am active. But it worked. Turns out there is some big deal about this drug. Fine if people want to go around being sleepy all day like a zombie not me, but I have a quality of life issue here. So why would someone have reservations about prescribing it to me, a full time graphic designer, hard working mum who doesn t even drink or smoke? Please give me some insight as to how I can receive the pain management I deserve after all these years of trying everything you can imagine. Selena
