Yes, it is probably going to take a while. But take satisfaction in that you actually know the truth of what is going on.

I've had migraines for 13 years (I was diagnosed when I was 8) and I'm no closer to any kind of long term solution. Some days it's really hard and I get depressed, and of course I feel like giving up...but you can't give up unless you want to stop living all together.

I have quite a few sinus migraines too. It's frustrating...and the pain in your face really sucks. I just started using a neti pot (the teapot you put up your nose and flush through with salt water) and it has relieved some of the regular sinus pressure that I feel.

Good luck and don't feel discouraged, just keep pushing through
