As a migrainer, I too am offended.

My migraines have robbed me of pretty much any really stellar life I could have achieved. Undergrad was very tough because of the preventative meds I took. I straight up couldn’t finish grad school and in large part due to the migraines. Yes, I know I could probably have put up some academic fight. But this is also at a point where I had essentially no healthcare and no income. It’s done similar destruction to any social networking desires I may have. I could go on.

As for frequency, without meds I’m basically getting one every day. With meds, I get some days free of pain per week.

Sorry to hear about your condition :( I really hope you find relief in new drugs. Many people here by their comments have no idea what a chronic migraine looks like.
