I have insurance, but it doesn't cover the whole amount. I get severe migraines. Thought they would be gone after menopause, but they are not. Don't get them as often, but still get them

June Kowalczyk said:You should look into vitamin D. New research shows high doses help. Seems countries closer to the equator, Hot countries, ie: India for example, have very small % of the population with MS. Colder climates, much higher rate. They think the warmth/sunshine has something to do with it. Vit D is the "sunshine" vitamin.
Also excercise & weights are so important for the muscles. Keeping them strong. You can't control nerve damage that has already occured, muscles will be affected there, but strength training with weights & excercise really helps keep what you have. And massage therapy, if you can afford that Gail, it really does help.

June Kowalczyk said:Hey Gail
I just retired from doing homecare, 20 yrs., in the community. I worked with a lot of MS clients. I only kept one friend from my clients, and she has MS. Before I retired, I was with her twice a day, 5 x's a week. When I started taking care of her, she could walk, but sadly she is now in a electric wheelchair. I recognized the typing cause that is how she types too. Unfortunately, she has a virulent type of MS.
How do you find decorating with your hands?

I have had migraines since I was 13 yrs. old. I have passed through the worst of it. i use to be in bed when I had one. Throw up....etc. I eat pretty healthy, and excercise, and I have a drug that stops the migraine before it gets too bad. I can also control the pain with ibuproven. If it is really bad, I use tylenol #3 & fiorinal....those are heavy duty. Don't hardly use the heavy stuff anymore. At my daughters's for Canadian Thanksgiving...so heading out now to buy turkey fixin's
