Marge,

I can't say with certainty that this will help in the long run or not but have you looked into Isha Yoga. I have heard from other people that this is the saving grace in their lives. I went to check out a class last night and I am planning on going to the class starting Sept 3rd. It is intensive, for 7 days. The weeknights are only 3 hours long 7-10;p, Sat. 9-12 Sun 8-5.

There more info on there website: www.ishafoundation.org

I originally found out about isha yoga through meetup.com. So even though there may not be a class coming to your area you can contact them and ask if they will be conducting classes in your area and also check out meetup.com to see if there is a isha yoga group in your area.

I know pain is crippling and it does make us angry. We are having lots of rain and that just mean more aches and pains for me. Take care...Hugs

I wish I knew what to tell you. I stay in bed when it's that bad. The hours are long...

I feel for you Margevans.I wish I could offer you something.

Be brave.

When I feel like that, my best friend becomes either the heating pad or the ice bag. I know. I'm a fat lot of help. Sorry.

I know nothing about migraine pain. Is there any research being done to relieve the pain or stop it? I can't believe all the new things that are being invented like an Ipod etc. but NOTHING for migraine pain. Something is not right..

I will pray for your relief and for the others that suffer from this horrible suffering.

Thanks.I have a website mymigraines.com trying to get respect for migraine as a disease.Alot of people don't know that migraine is a real disease.

I've been on migraine forums where people with full careers,lawyers,teachers,lose everything.

Many people don't know that migraine beyond 72hrs you run the risk of migraineous stroke.

I have a story on my site and blogs about a young mother 26yrs old who died in Dec 2007 after treatment for migraine at an er.She was given 3 shots of morphine and sent home.

She died later that night.Most er's are trained to triage you last.Many treat you like drug seekers.I told the dr on one er trip shots don't work.Meds thru an iv.He gave me a shot anyway.

I asked him if it didn't work,should I tell the nurse,he said Oh,no.That shot will take at least an hour to work,we can't have you wait here.

Thru an iv,if I get relief,it's within minutes.

I have a friend who recently had a migraine so bad,she was literally banging her head against the wall.I've been on the way to the hospital and had to get out of the car,rolling on the sidewalk because of the pain.

I've thrown up and tried to scream at the same time,the pressure in my head was so bad.

I'll check it out.I've tried yoga,but it made the pain worse.And I've gone to a physical therapist that has helped many migraineurs,but no success.Also,accupuncture,chiopractor
