Brainbox says hi

hi all

i was diagnosed with hemiplegic migraines in august 2011 and started topamax in november after having attacks lasting 7-10 days with about 3-4 days and then another attack 2 weeks after starting topamax the big one hit and its still ongoing, in march it attacked both sides of my body of a week and currently attacking all my body except right arm, headache isnt the worst at this minute so im trying to reach out to people and say hello as im very light sensitive so not using laptop much and live alone so reaching out is good
cheers hope to talk soon
all the best
BB

Hi, BB,
Welcome. This community is super great and supportive! Definitely reach out as much as you can, but don't overdo it! I have to limit my computer use, too, though it is super difficult in today's world!
Are you seeing a neurologist? How much Topamax are you taking? It doesn't sound like it is helping you, since you have had a constant HM since 2 weeks after starting Topamax! Whatever the case, good luck, and I hope you get relief soon!
