I don't know that one can grow out of migraines at the age of 48. There are too many different reasons that people get migraines from stress, environmental causes, neck or back problems, hormones and neurological problems. Until you narrow down what causes yours, it is hard to say if and when you will be rid of them. I see a Chiropractor once a month and that helps me keep my migraines under control as far as my spine is concerned. But, I get migraines for 4 different reasons. I tend to get them due to hormones (female issues) and not every month so it depends on the month. I can get them when I am stressed. I can get them if I strain my eyes for a long period of time and, I can get them when there is a drastic change in the barometric (sp) pressure outside. So, try to make note of what is going on around you, what you have done, what you have eaten, how you slept or how you were sitting when the migraines started. That might help you narrow down the underlying cause of your migraines so that you can put an end to them (if at all possible). I started getting migraines when I was in 7th grade and am not 34 so, as far as growing out of them is concerned, I just don't think that is a migraine cure. I would have to imagine I would have grown out of mine by now if that were the case. Sorry! I wish I could tell you that what you have been told is true. It may be. As for me, I am still waiting!
My best suggestion, besides making notes of what may be your cause(s), is to see a Chiropractor and see if he or she can help you. It might simply be that your spinal cord is out of wack. My three worst migraines were relieved within minutes of having an adjustment from my Chiropractor. And, 2 of them were migraines I suffered through for 3 days before seeing my Chiro so, I am a firm believer in the healing power of them in a spinal cord related migraine. They can't always help when the cause is environmental or hormonal. But, it is worth a shot!
Take care and keep in touch!
