migraine prevention
"I have had intractable migraine for 28 years, and migraines from the age of 10 until 28 years ago when it never quit.. I went through many different trials of treatment & nothing worked, so finally the headache specialist gave me Vicodin.  It worked and I was able to begin living life again. Then a new MD took the Vicodin away and gave me Topamax. MY LIFE WAS HELL. I live alone in a 2 story house and I had to scoot up/down on my butt. I am 66 & disabled (from strokes) and I was terrified. I could barely form sentences, I had terrible brain fog, I couldn't cook a meal as I was so confused I kept burning things. It was horrible. The doc told me to keep taking it but I refused, I felt the side effects were too dangerous for me."
