[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 697241, member: 1233"] Welcome, Gershwing! I am so very glad you found us and so very sorry that you needed to find us. People here will give you honest, heartfelt input. You won't be blown off and you won't be mocked later. We have each known the true, gutwrenching sorrow that only found when you are raising a difficult child. Please know that you cannot help him unless you are healthy yourself. If you don't care for yourself, you don't have the strength or the depth of character needed to stick with it until your loved one pulls his/her head out and learns to care. You don't have the strength to deal with the reality that you can only offer help and guidance, you cannot force anyone to accept and use the help. You cannot set and stick to healthy boundaries if you are not healthy first. I know how hard it is with chronic migraines. I was first diagnosed with them at age 4 and currently have upward of 20 migraine days per month. it destroys your health and many aspects of your life. PLEASE, go and see your doctor and demand some help with them. There are preventatives that work and treatments that work. It can take time to find the right ones for you, but it can be done. I will happily share information on the types of preventatives and other treatments, on how to talk to your doctor about your migraines, and about alternative treatments (NOT hippy dippy stuff, stuff that has actually helped me and involves NO selling or buying of anything from any pyramid scheme sales organization!) that can truly help. I can even share help on how to find help paying for treatments and the least expensive options to try before the higher priced options. Until you get these under some semblance of control, you are trying to help yourself with one hand nailed to your opposite knee. Which is even less effective than having one hand tied behind your back! [/QUOTE]
