Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!
I'm so glad you've found us and to assure you that you're
not alone. Currently there is no cure for Migraine, a genentic neurological disease thought to be caused by overactive neurons in our brains and genentics.
Having said that, and seeing as you have seen so many neurologists already, it may now be time to see the expert - a Migraine specialist. It's important to note that neurologists aren't necessarily Migraine and headache specialists. Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? If you need help finding a Migraine specialist, check our listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists.
Have you kept a Migraine diary before? This is an easy way to see what may be triggering a Migraine attack, helping and/or not helping to stop the attack. You can download our free diary HERE.
If we take certain medications like over the counter and/or prescription medications or any kind of pain med more than two days a week, a big part of the problem may well be medication overuse headache (MOH), aka rebound. See Medication Overuse Headache - When the Remedy Backfires for more information on this. The problem here is if you're in an MOH situation, nothing you take is going work, neither prescription nor "natural" medications nor over-the-counter. If that's the case, you need to work with your doctor to stop the medications causing the problem.

In my response to my own comment to this site is that I wanted to also add that I don't know if there is a cure, but its something out there that will take these horrible migraines away. It doesn't make quite sense to me of how headaches come and go, week by week and then nothing is wrong. It does makes you wonder. I have anxiety along with this and trust me, it can get scary sometimes. People often think something is wrong with me when I say I have a headache. There comment, "You always have headaches or be sick and can't have fun and get out of the house". I cry to myself sometimes not around anyone, because if I could tell someone why, then I would have my answer. Who would want something like this that affects everyday living? Then when you don't get headache, it seems like something else goes wrong. I can write a book about my migraines and maybe that might be just the cure..Vent your problems out on paper and let someone hear and read your pain. It just might change your life. I do write poetry, but haven't in a while due to the not wanting to feeling. There are a lot of things I would love to do, but its these nasty, debilitating migraines that gets in the way. By the way, I know I am not the only sufferor out here, so if one tell another then maybe most of our stories will be heard and made known.
**I wanted to add this to my original post**
Thanks for reading againg (Time4Relief) - GOD is my Healer above and I know this is something he can fix. Right now its just a work-in-progress. One day these migraines will subside.
