How many must Die to Get Respect for Migraine Disease?
October 21st 2009 20:17
I was looking up news stories about migraine disease and found a story about a woman who was 7 months pregnant who died....was told she had a pinched nerve after going for medical help...even though her mother died of an aneurysm.
Doesn't matter where it was, Canada, the U.S. has the same sad attitude. I'm thinking it's because most migraine sufferers are women and of course women like to "be dramatic" , want attention, aren't tough like men.
This story makes me sick, it worries me as my youngest daughter is pregnant and gets really bad headaches. I will speak to her and her boyfriend about this and most likely her dr. I want them to take it seriously when she goes to the er. She has been once already, in severe pain and recently had problems breathing along with the pain.
It is long past time for Migraine Disease to be treated seriously. What, ya think someone who has never been a drug seeker, is taking good care of herself is pregnant is what, a drug seeker.
Get a grip!! Wake the medical community up!!

I have chronic migraine, but they often change my diagnosis. I had a fall off a horse when I was 10, and since then Ive had migraine. Im now 27, and earlier this year I was in agony all day every day. They said sinus problems, they said teeth, then they said trigeminal nueralgia. A nuero - my sixth - said it wasnt nueralgia, just 'simply' a form of chronic migraine that has progressed to the point where the cycle is stuck. So I always have one. Instead of going between no pain and pain, I go between less pain and more pain.
I really think we should be able to do better than that.

I will not stop, I will never stop my goal of getting respect for migraineurs.
Now, I see my daughters going through it, my youngest now pregnant getting the extreme headaches and not being taken seriously.
She has seen me in er's for many years and how I was "mistreated"
I don't want my daughters to go through this. I want a better life for them. You're young, I hope the same for you.
