Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions.
I’ve had migraines since I was a small child so I don’t think the problem is difficulty in self expression. My only concern back then was which toy to play with that day. :-)
Migraines are a recurrent episodic neurological disorder in the same family as epilepsy. In other words, a biological brain disorder not a psychological brain disorder. The medicine actually works really well for me when I’m awake to feel the episode starting. The problem is when one starts while I’m asleep and that’s usually because of the weather. Changing of the seasons is a roller coaster ride around here.
I really appreciate your concern and your ideas. Thank you so much!
