Depression, Migraines, Anxiety
My migraines started 5 years ago. At the time, I had Medical insurance. I went through my tests and luckily, it was not a brain tumor. It was a hormonally based condition. They lasted daily for one year. I had to work everyday and care for a family. Most of that year is a blur. I functioned on pain meds, Topamax, Effexor, and many other meds. It took a while to determine which med would work and in the process I gained 20 lbs. (a side effect). Now the headaches are only around my period. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford health insurance and the depression lingers on.
