I guess that makes sense. It gets tiring discussing the same thing
over and over with nothing new added. I have not really been able
to discuss this sort of stuff with anyone, though. Docs don't
count, not that they are really saying anything anyway. Family and
friends don't have a clue and don't want to hear it anyway.

Unfortunately, I dislike bourbon but I do enjoy percocet. They
don't do anything for my head, though.

I have heard that there are headache clinics and they mostly see
people with chronic headache. Its funny, I keep reading how
migraines are so underdiagnosed but all my doctors want to say to me
is "migraine". Seems the same for you. I think migraine meds makes
headaches worse cause they are caused by different things.
