Deanna,
Hi I have not been on this site for a few months but, when I first read your blog, I can totally understand. It is like, 'if people don't see you fall over or pass out' then they think you are totally fine. I am also very much on the same pa…

GETTING THE HANG OF THIS
Well, for now I seem to really like this forum. I also see that people are talking about dystonia (which is something i have). My cervical dystonia makes my migraines just all the worst. But I like how everything is organized, I just need to get the hang of it. I would love to hear from any of you.
Hope you all have a pain free day

It's super easy to start a discussion thread. Go to the WEGO Health Migraine Group and then click "start a discussion" in the middle of the page. If you're logged in, you'll see a green plus sign. Cick that and then just start a messaage. We have another Migraine Newsletter coming out in a couple weeks so we can include your thread there to make sure everyone sees it. You could also start the thread and then add it to your own blog. Just a few ideas! Hope this helps.

- Yes Megan, I would like to talk with you more as well. It is always great to speak with someone that does the same thing you do. Two heads are better than one

- Thank you Megan. Yes you did clear it up. Your comment sounded as if a shrink has no business helping those with migraines if they have it themselves. Thank you so much for clearing that up. I always believe in communication so everyone was/is on the same page. Thank you! Best wishes to you! Hope you are having a pain free day!

- Thank You Ellen so much for your kind words. I want to say something about being a therapist and having to deal with migraines.
1) You never 'advise' someone to do anything!
2) You tell them the positives and negatives of the choices they want to make.
3)They make the choice without judgment from you.
4) You are a constant support system
5)In dealing with a person with migraines you help them deal with the pain
Also I do not have that many migraine patients, afew, but I deal mostly in rape victims, and marriage and family.
I had a comment posted earlier that was not very clear, but I don't think it had the most kind tone. I just wanted to make clear what a psychologist does that has migraines.

- Lisa,
Your patients are SOOOO very lucky to have you! To understand Migraine and Dystonia, you have to really have experienced them. No stories, poems, or paintings can begin to describe what goes thru the mind of a migraineur in the throes of an attack, or the feeling of muscles that are beyond your control, but you know from experience. Sometimes you don't have to experience something to know how to "fix" it. Understanding and treating someone with migraine or dystonia is one of those things I think goes beyond the scope of "I don't know what you're feeling, but I can guess and here's what I think you should do". Much like having an Obstetrician who has been thru childbirth, you can understand, and for some migraineurs and dystonia patients, that is the door for which they have been searching a long, long time.
Welcome to WEGO! We're so glad you're here!
