I have had migraines for years on and off but in January I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and was out of work for a month from that.  Since then I have had migraines every day and can't seem to find any relief and it is so frustrating.  I don't have a life because I am battling a migraine everyday.  I am either sleeping from the meds, crying from the pain, nauseated and vomiting, or going to the doctor to try to figure out what to do to stop this mess.  I would really so love to feel normal again and I am hoping maybe someone here has a miracle answer.  I am currently on Topamax, Midrin, Maxalt, and Phenergan.  They tried me on Propranolol but that didn't work.  I was also on Celexa and Effexor at some point but they took me off those because of the side effect of migraines.  They just started me on Wellbutrin.  I am watching what I eat which leaves very little for me to eat between the Crohns and the migraines but I am starving because I am on Prednisone for the Crohns.  Well, thank you for letting me share here.  It is so hard to feel like I am suffering alone without any hope of relief.
