Everyone raise your hand (including lurkers; feel free to introduce yourself)! We'd love to know your name/nickname, and as much personal information as you care, including location, family, your history with headaches and migraines, etc. Best wishes.

Hi there! My name is Kate and I currently live in Washington with my husband and our tortoise baby. I have had New Daily Persistent Headache with migraine for 3.5 years now, although I just got the NDPH diagnosis this year. Previously they thought it was Chronic Daily Headache. My health is the best it has been in awhile and I'm pretty stable on all my medications, and at a more functional level. I work in the aerospace industry and love my career and my life. We want to buy a house soon and it is so nice to settle down. We are truly blessed, although I'd be happier if my husband was employed lol. Best wishes and hope to chat with you all soon.

Hi there,
My name is Vida, I'm a newbie around here.  Been married to Alan since May '91, have two children, son Andrius/10, daughter Vilija/7.  We live in the Greater Pittsburgh area. 
My son has been having headaches for over 2 years now, and it was in June of this year that he was officially dx'd with migraines.

Hi Vida! Glad to see you dropped by here again. How is Andrius doing? Any reduction in migraine episodes? Just curious-does anyone else in your family have migraines? I know you said you are prone to headaches. Best wishes.

Hi Kate!

Andrius has been doing fine, thanks for asking.  He hasn't had a migraine since that last one, the really severe one which required two sumatriptan tabs within 45 minutes of each other.  That was October 3rd -- so we're talking a month ago. 

Hockey has been slow, not many games scheduled close together, and practices are two nights/week.  So there isn't TOO much overexertion at this time.

No other migraines in the family.  I'm prone to headaches, but not migraines, though I did have one many years ago.  My headaches are mainly stress/tension related and due to TMJ pain.

Attached are pics of my two sweeties -- I mentioned that Vilija was born with a cleft lip/palate, so I've attached her birth photo as well.  She was always our little beauty.  :)
