Living with Chronic Illness as a Single Mom

Sammmie

712d

Hello! My name is Sam. I have had multiple chronic conditions since the year 2000. I am a single mom to a 3 year old and find my health getting in the way of my parenting and work frequently. I just want to find similar people that experience health problems as much as I do so that maybe I won’t feel so alone 💔

      Hi Sammie! I also get migraines 3-4 times a week. They were getting better when I was doing botox as a preventative but my new insurance doesn't cover that. You're definitely not alone!

        @CandyBee I’m on Botox, nurtec, and tramadol and still get migraines about 4-5 days a week. It’s exhausting. I’m having a neck surgery in 2 weeks that might help prevent further migraines but we shall see. Thank you for the support!

      Hi Sammie. I get migraines at least 1X a week, usually 2X on top of my other chronic health conditions. I don't have children, so I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. Please be assured you are NOT alone!!!

      You're definitely not alone! Are you looking for advice on possible relief or just support?

          @Sammmie Have you ever tried one of the injection preventative medications? I'm on Emgality and it works pretty well. I've also found great success with the emergency medicine Ubrelvy.
