ORIGINAL: hisannabelle greetings ownedgirlie, i haven't noticed a change in my migraines since i started the pill, thank goodness. they come and go in severity - for the last two weeks or so i've had a headache all the time, at migraine level half the time, but then i can go for like 6 months and only have 3 or 4 in that timespan. i'm sorry to hear of your difficulty with the pill...i hope everything is okay now and there were no lasting effects from your reaction. generally, though, i think what bothers me and made me react so strongly is the fact that most doctors really don't, in my experience, think things through or advocate for their patients. i have one or two amazing doctors, and the rest of them i do all their thinking for them, LOL. my options are limited so i deal with what i have available. based on kitttty's previous posts and the fact that i deeply suspected weight gain was a deal breaker for her master (her lsat score was, so weight gain doesn't surprise me, to be honest) made me worry, because i worry for her that she will end up going on the pill without investigating the consequences to please him and often if we don't do it, no one does (i know my doctors usually don't). her master, from what she has said previously, does not seem like the type to care too much about the consequences. so that is why i don't look at this from the perspective of, "everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't she?" Hi annabelle, Well, it still concerns me that you have migraines while on it, but that's just me. :). I'm ok now re: my situation, but no doctor will put me on it now. I asked mine if the medications have advanced enough over the years (it was 20 years ago I had a problem) and he said, "For you? No." LOL So that's that. My situation was, other than my migraine, I ended up with tunnel vision and an inability to speak, and then my memory was shot for a few days (as in I didn't know my address, etc.). They didn't rule it as a stroke because a CAT scan didn't detect a blood clot in my brain. Who knows, but I can never be on it again. Thank you for expressing what your concerns were with the OP. Now I understand more clearly. I appreciate your taking the time to explain. :)
