Oh Kurt isn't diagnosed yet? This could be a rough time for him if he gets migraines constantly.

Blaine and Kurt were super cute in this chapter.

Absolutely not! Every person with chronic migraines starts somewhere. They start with one migraine. One migraine that gets progressively worse as time goes by. No one is ever diagnosed on the first one, and the same goes for Kurt. He'll be following my migraine!story for the most part...so he'll be very stubborn about going to the doctors to get treatment for them.

Yeah, I've done that. I'm pretty healthy and resistant to going to the doctor. An ear infection brought me down though and now I totally can empathize with crying babies.

What's happening with Kurt was similar to before I was diagnosed with Epilepsy 5 years ago. I haven't gone more than a year without having a seizure at least once. I've had my medications upped at least 4 times since I was diagnosed.

I know that I wasn't diagnosed with Epilepsy after the first one, it was after the second one that I was. Ever since then, it's been a battle since I never know when I'll have a seizure. It sucks, but I live with it and deal with it as it comes.

I think I will follow this story. Reasons why: My dad has something similar to Chronic Migraines. My 9 year old brother has Asperger's, I have Epilepsy and ADD. Also, I'm practically a walking medical encyclopedia so, if you need some help, I'm willing to help.

Poor Kurt, it's terrible the migraine!

[sayuri_rose_k]

I understand what it's like. I've had Epilepsy for 5 years now. I know that there are people who know about Epilepsy, but there isn't anywhere near as much research into it or any of the Invisible Illnesses. It really sucks for those of us who have them too

I can't wait for the next chapter. :)

And it will be interesting to see the sequence of events leading up to his diagnosis, etc. :)

Do you have migraines? As a migraine sufferer myself, I found your description very accurate. I can't wait to see more of this fic.

[aalikane]

Yep. Have had chronic migraines for the past 3 years. It got to the point where they were so bad, I would have them every day for a month. They suck horribly. Luckily I went on new medication and they went away for about 4 months... Unfortunately now they're slowly coming back.
