I have lived that long Donuel and am about to hit exactly mid forties....if anything they have become much more problematic since I hit forty.

I haven't been proscribed anything that will stop them, ever....and I've tried lots of different drugs ( not sure whether they were left or right handed though).....the best the doctors could come up with was controlling the pain....and that with drugs which leave me with horrible side effects so eventually I don't know what is migraine and what is drugs, a bit like the rebound headaches Jeri was describing earlier.I have to wean myself off the one to check out the other.That's what I've been doing today but only lasted til four until I couldn't take the pain anymore.
