Lynn,

I, too, got the morphine drip for severe migraines during chemo. They didn't stop the pain, but made me care less. Isn't it fun how many wonderful chemo stories we share? Each chemo migraine, I was wheeled in for a brain scan because the doctors were afraid it was brain cancer.

Maxalt works about 50% of the time. I'm totally scared about Botox, although it probably isn't any worse than the poisons I currently take. Don't want to try nasal sprays because I'm prone to nosebleeds.

Something like 10% of my life is consumed by migraines. I try not to get angry or depressed about this, because everyone has their difficulties in life. Still, it makes me sad, especially on the days when I'm completely dysfunctional. The rest of the time, I concentrate on all that I accomplish when I'm feeling well. You should too. We can't get back the wasted days, but we can make the most of the good ones.
