Migraines evolving

Unfortunately, I have suffered from migraines since I was about 6 years old. Hitting puberty made them worse, but more regular and predictable. Pregnancy seemed to stop them, and continued while I was breast feeding. Menopause seemed to have lessened them substantially and turn them more into regular headaches. Unfortunately, chemo seems to have kicked them back in with a vengeance, worse, waking me up in the middle of the night with pounding head feeling powerless to move and forcing me now to result to medication I had been prescribed before but always rejected because it would make me too tired and unable to drive or work. Before, sleeping would always alleviate it, but now it doesn't. Nausea but worse. Instead of one every thirty days, now have had two in three days. What fun.
