Migraine is a difficult condition to manage. It doesn't seem to have a single cause or cure.

I wonder if there is some relationship to HERV's, like scientists suspect of schizophrenia and depression.

@mattotcha For most of my life I had at least 3 migraines a week. I saw doctors on my own dime (long before Obamacare) didn't get any help at all. An occupational therapist laid it out bare for me. She said "almost all companies will fire you for calling out three days in a month."

My wife helped me to understand how migraines affected my financial life. Being a little short on every paycheck is brutal when you’re already just barely making it.
