I suffer from severe migraines. I get them 3 or 4 times a week. Ive tried almost everything out there and nothing works. Does anybody else suffer like this?

Went to the doctor

Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com! 

 

It may be time for a preventive medication when we have more that 4 Migraine attacks a week. It may feel like you have tried everything out there for Migraine prevention, but that really isn't possible! Migraine Preventive Medications - Too Many Options To Give Up! will give you an idea just how many different medications are used to treat Migraine.

 

Sometimes it can take up to three months for our bodies to adjust to certain medications and we see a reduction in Migraine frequency. When we are in, we seem to have less patience. But that is exactly what it takes, and a fair trial of medication.

yes i suffered from 3 to 4 a week, thankfully way down now. watch your diet and sleep patterns for common triggers. and ask about a prevenitive. hard to believe a blood pressure pill helps as much as it did ( or at least i think it is helping) it could be my watching every bite i put in my mouth, but after a few weeks of the meds i saw a great improvement in the frequency
