My struggle and victory over chronic headaches and migraines

Hi,

My Name is Renee Morales. I'm a scientist and I'm a recovering headache sufferer....

No, I'm not starting my own chapter of MA (Migraineurs Anonymous), but I am here to put an end to the need for such a chapter.

I suffered with recurring headaches and migraines for 21 years!

Does this story sound familiar?

It’s about 8:30 AM, I’ve been at work about an hour and I am at my desk doing paperwork when "The Aura” starts.

The shimmery flashbulb dazzle takes up all of my central vision. I try briefly, but futilely, to read using my peripheral vision, before putting the papers down and accepting that the migraine is on it’s way.

I begin to calculate how many sick days I might still have. Can I go home? I think I might have one still. I'll have to wait for my vision to clear, which means that the pain will have arrived and light will be excruciating, but if I pop a pain killer now, and put on my darkest shades, I can be reasonable safe to drive.

About the time I can see well enough not to run into anything, I make my break for it. As I get up to leave, fighting down first waves of the pain and nausea, my boss arrives with the work crisis in tow.

One of the computer applications I'm responsible for, the brand new one that only I and one other person are trained on, the one that does $5 million/day in business, has gone down. The other operations guy was up all night last night and will need to be up again all night tonight.

No choice, I'm it and I'm up. I'm at the start of what turns out to be one of the worst migraines of my life as well as what had to be one of the longest days in recorded history.

The crisis drags on the entire day. I spend the day working in front of the computer screen and on conference calls with irate managers, fighting the urge to vomit with each fresh wave of sound and light. I watch the clock creep ahead, counting the seconds until I can take more meds, so I can hold on a little longer.

Finally, after only 2 hours of overtime, the system is restored to normal and I'm free to go home.

But now it's dark, so sunglasses to screen out the lights are out of the question, so I drive home futilely trying to watch the road and avoid the stabbing light of oncoming cars. Finally, home sweet home.

My husband, familiar with the signs that he would be "on his own" for dinner, takes one look at me and orders yet another pizza. This morning, I had promised him that tonight we would do a bit of "intimate bonding", since my week-long string of chronic headaches had finally broken, but he already knows that will be out of the question - again.

I take more drugs, crawl into the bed, and pray that I can find oblivion in sleep. And pray even more fervently that the pain will be gone when I wake…

Finally, I decided to use the scientific training I received getting my Masters in Biochemistry to identify and eliminate the cause of the headaches, rather than passively hoping this is the last one and simply taking drugs to dull the pain until it passes.

Once I began approaching the problem systematically using myself as the science experiment, I found that I got several different types of headaches; sinus, tension, chronic, migraine. And I found that what works for one, not only does not necessarily work for another, but can actually make the pain worse!

Now I have enjoyed over 8 years of liberty from chronic recurring headaches, and have helped other headache sufferers eliminate headaches from the lives with with great success. Therefore I decided to put this site together to help you also enjoy freedom from daily headache pain.
