thanks for your feedbck i dont know where to start i hve a migraine as i speak, i have tried everything in the book been to neuroligists and had scans botox shots behind my neck but nothing seems to work i have even tried medicated i.e. topomax, amitriptyline etc.
i manage because i have had chronic migraines for 20 years but recently they started making me depressed and tearful, the migraine i am having now has been on for 2 weeks like a daily cycle. relplax, which usually calms the pain down, thats not even working this time, i just feel like i need help, my migraine specialist doctor is running out of ideas, this is why i joined this group, for help.
tell me about it, I have been everywhere trying to get a handle on these daily headaches. There is a procedure called DHE where you get injections (under a doctors or hospitals care) which can break the cycle. It may help you, ask your neurologist if he has heard of it. Look it up on the internet. I tried it and it seemed to help but I had to pay out of pocket and it was too costly. Nowadays I just take too much Imitrex and pray it isnt messing with my heart. Its the only thing that works but I know I am rebounding on it. Massage and acupuncture do help also-wishing you some relief a fellow sufferer
Good luck and keep well.....i truly know how you feel x
As a migraine sufferer of 40years ( no, I am not boasting :-) ), the one thing I have got from this group is that we are all in the same boat and that there is no miracle cure, I wish there was. It would appear that some things work for some people and other things work for other people, it seems that no two people are the same, perhaps this is why it is difficult to find a cure. I just take comfort from this group that I am not the only one. Take care.
