For the last couple months, I've had a hard battle. I've had about 3x more migraines than usual in the last month. In this last week alone, I had 4. Usually I can count on 1 or 2 per MONTH. It's been hard to attend class and hard to concentrate when I do attend.
The struggle with this is that sometimes the Excedrin or store brand migraine medicine doesn't work as quickly as it used to. I also don't always have it on me, since my migraines USED to be very predictable.
The other part of the struggle is that I have only limited options as far as insurance is concerned. I have Plan First, which is a Michigan program for women in order to get annual exams, as well as family planning needs (if I were to decide to have a child, I believe it covers the pregnancy, but I'm not completely sure). What I am sure of is that it doesn't cover non-family planning services. :( Migraines are not included.
I have spoken with one of my professors, who is also my adviser and boss for the LAS minor job. She has offered to help me if I need it. I just pray that they'll go away on their own. I'm tired of fighting, ya know?
