My migraines and the new diet I am trying

Thank you for your comments and I guess that I did not make my self very clear. I have seen over half a dozen of the countries tops specialists in this area in the area of neurology, cardiology, psychology, and migraine. At this point there is nothing that hasn't been tried I even applied for a nerve stimulator implantation but was turned down by insurance. I am currently with pain specialists and doing alternative therapy to reduce stress and try to gear my self to life off of all drugs. That is why I look forward to moving in the future, that is what the doctors have resolved to as well. I have kept multiple diaries and my trigger is weather. I hope this is a little clearer as to why we are thinking of moving and not because I haven't tried medical help, but because medical help hasn't worked for me and I have found a new hope for my self with this move.

Hi,

I understand how frustrating it is to see so many doctors, try so many different drugs and not feel any better. One thing to consider is that all Migraine/headache "specialists" are not created equal, just like some GP's have better bedside manners than others, some Migraine specialists are more specialized than others. Does that make any sense? I went to one "headache" specialist - he had never heard of some of the medications used for Migraine/headache I was taking. I didn't go back to him.  I guess my point here is there are too many options to give up. It may feel like you have tried every medication available for Migraines, but that really isn't possible because there are over 100 that can be used to treat Migraine disease.

Thank you for your concern. I don't in the least feel that I have given up. I am still seeking treatment with a pain doctor who had migraines himself and was able to treat his with this diet that I am currently trying. I still take topamax and prozac as well as have a daily fentanyl patch for pain control. For the first time in a very long time I am actually getting some decrease in the severity and duration of the headaches. The problem is I am a RN so as long as I am on pain medications, I can't work. My goal is to become drug free. I had lived out west before and it was the only time in my life that I didn't have headaches. I don't see our plans to move in the future as giving up on anything but instead keeping hope alive that some day I may have fewer headaches and no longer be disabled. I am currently fully disabled and filing for disability. This is not how I want the rest of my life or my kid's life to be. If there is a remote chance of getting of the drugs and living again for my family why wouldn't I take it? I have faith in God that he will work all of this out just as he wants to and if that include a new drug to come along now great or if that means we more west I am willing to go. I am leaving this all in his hands. I don't have anything against the medical field, I'm a nurse. So far they just haven't had any luck with me. I also have a heart issue so med combinations are a little trickery with me then with other so that doesn't help. I will just keep plugging along with my new diet and my current medications for now and see how the next few years plays out. Maybe this diet will be the answer that many of us have been looking for.
