Thank you for help to spread the word on complex or complicated migraines. I have suffered from them for over 5 years, and a lot of people, including medical professionals, simply do not understand their complexity and/or they try to treat them like "regular" migraines. They forget that in some cases we are going around for weeks trying to act normally and all the while dealing with stroke-like symptoms going on while we work, deal with family issues, etc. And/or, they think because nothing is showing up in their tests that we are either a nut-case, looking for freebie drug handouts, or suffering from Munchausen. Personally, I would recommend that anyone with this condition see a neurologist. They are the only ones who seem to really get-it, as far as I'm concerned.
