margevans, I am so sorry about your migraines. I have known several chronic migraine sufferers and I don't know how you cope. I was very afraid for a long time that a dear friend would give up. She ultimately died -- a heart valve that was damaged by an experimental migraine drug, gave out before she had surgery. She was 46 and I mourn her still. Yet I understood why she took an unapproved drug -- your pain sounds unbearable. I hope you can bear it.

Thanks Robin.I'm back on because I don't know what to do with myself.The pain has decided to settle in my face tonight,God help me if I have to cough.Which is happening because I'm having issues with pollen.

I want to go to the er,but all that happens is I get drugged up and still feel the pain.

I'm sorry about your friend.I have a few blogs and a website.I placed a video from a local newschannel about a young mom (this was just in Dec)who died after er treatment.They gave her 3 shots of demerol and sent her home,where died that night.

She was only 26,a loving,beautiful mom of 2 and married.I heard from her sibling thanking me for having her remembered.I also heard from her husband.I finished my myspace acct so I could keep in contact with him.

I just don't understand why migraineurs are treated,or should I say mistreated so.It is known that you are triaged last,all chronic pain patients are,now I do have chronic migraine,not everyone with migraine does.But even so,if I go,it's because I can't take it anymore.

The one nurse said to me when I told her I had chronic migraine,"You don't look familiar" Yet if I did,they accuse you of being a drug seeker.

Status migraine is a migraine attack that goes 72 hrs or longer,you run the risk of migraineous stroke.

Anna Nichole Smith was a migraineur,most likely much of what you saw in those videos,very well could've been migraine.I've had times I can't speak,I don't understand what's being said to me.I've convulsed,hallucinated.I keep motion sickness pills on me,I've had times where I've dry heaved for hours.My poor daughter saw me one time screaming and dry heaving at the same time.

I've been on forums where professionals have had to give up their careers and are homebound.

I do have a fear that I will end up like your friend.The pain never stops.But this is the worst it's been in a long time.

Thanks for letting me go on...I am afraid for my daughters.My oldest has had migraine attacks since high school.She doesn't get them often,but she loses her vision.I get an aura,even in the midst of the pain,boom there it is.I used to get it before an attack.Women who get that are at much greater risk of stroke.

Wish me luck tonight,I need it.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I too suffer from migraines, but intermittently now. The last time i went to the ER, they added benedryl to the mix of the injections into the IV and it worked!!!! I was having a cluster and I couldn't take my hands off of my head I thought i was going to die. I can't remember the meds they put in the IV, I'll have to ask my husband, i was pretty out of it. but i do remember the benedryl because i thought that was weird. The er doc gave me a scrip for compazine and I was told to take it with my percocet.

I will pray for you hun, you don't deserve to suffer like this

Blessings,

Michelley
