Dr Oz.,

I would like to address and issue with your program and misinformation of the public. You have such a great reputation that if you say it, it is practically gospel. In the past when you have done shows on migraine, it comes off that it is an easy thing to treat and not a serious condition. Family and friends will come to us and say that “Dr. Oz said” and then begin to tell us what we should do. There needs to be attention to those that are chronic like myself and the 37 million others. The lack of understanding makes people think we are lazy, complainers and the worst drug seekers. The World Health Recognizes the seriousness of this disease and lists it in the top 20 most disabling conditions. We desperately need you to help us inform the public that what we are going through is more than just A migraine. We suffer day in and out, 15 or more a month, and just one can last anywhere from 4hrs to 4wks. They can back up on each other and can be suffering from several types of migraines simultaneously. The agony we live with is dismissed. We have a 65% higher risk for suicide and are plagued with co-morbid conditions such as depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, RDS and so many more.
This month Chronic Migraine Awareness will be highlighting these co-morbid conditions. We need your help to get the message out that this is a disease, it’s not “all in our heads”. It effects every aspect of our lives. We have lost jobs, friends, family, our identities too. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! HELP US!!!

My Personal Letter to Dr. Oz

Dr. Oz, 
I am a Chronic Migraine sufferer. I have had Migraine disease for 26 years (since the age of 8). They have progressively gotten to the point where I am now chronic. This is all I know of my life. Pain = Living. If treating Migraines was such an easy fix, then shouldn't I have been relieved of this debilitating and disabling neurological disease years ago? Before I became a CMer five years ago? I have tried all treatments including, acupuncture, chiropractic care, Botox injections. nerve and C2 ganglion blocks, biofeedback, meditation, acupressure, breathing, guided imagery, elimination diets, cranial fascial massage therapy, and dozens of prescriptions that failed or gave me serious adverse reactions. My last resort this past spring was to get a peripheral nerve stimulator implant to help control my pain. Unfortunately, the pain has learned how to avoid it and has moved to areas where I had never had pain before. There are also the comorbid conditions/illnesses that come along with prolonged Migraine disease. I currently now have crippling fibromyalgia, severe major depressive disorder, severe anxiety, and insomnia. When you do a show about Migraine, you are addressing the Episodic Migraine sufferer. Chronic Migraineurs are never represented and we have to endure the millions of suggestions heard on your show and from commercials for so-called migraine medications. It is time that my serious disease be accurately portrayed with real sufferers like myself. I have had to learn to live despite my pain. I can not be the mother, wife, sister, daughter or friend that I would like to be because my life is spent in a dark room covered in ice packs crying in helpless pain. It's horrible and I wouldn't wish this life on my worst enemy. Please seriously consider having a show about this part of Migraine disease that is left in the dark. It's hard having a legitimate disease that people don't believe in.
