I am a sixteen year old female and I have been suffering from chronic migraines for 9 months now. They are debilitating, and keep me from living my life, they have gotten in way of school, sports, friends and family. I am finding it all very hard to deal with, and since no one in my family has never once had a migraine nobody completely understands. Along with my migraines comes numbness in my face, stomach pain, fatigue, depression, and nosebleeds. I have had CT scans and MRI's but they have all came out clear, and doctors cannot seem to find anything wrong. I spend most of my time with a stint in my arm because I have to go to the hospital so often to receive Maxeran through an IV because my other medications don't work (topamax, amitriptyline, and zomig) I have basically been told by doctors that there is nothing that they can do about the pain, and the migraines are just a part of my life, and I will have to deal with them. At 16 this is very hard to hear. I am maybe looking for someone with a similar story, to tell me how they dealt with realizing there was no end the their pain, or some ideas as to what is going on.
