I am so sick of having these headaches. They are slowly increasing in frequency and pain levels. I dont know what to do. I get so depressed by them. And the funny part is that I use an anti-depressant to help treat them. Isnt that laughable! I wish that I could find a doctor that actually cares. Hopefully I can find a neurologist in this new city I live in. I think im afraid to see a doctor cause they will either think im lying or tell me im dying or do what other doctors have done. Give me something that makes it worse. The last time I went to the ER cause the pain was so bad the doctor gave me Imitrex. I told them it wouldnt work. I took it years ago and it didnt help. What did they do? They gave me the injection anyway and it intesified my migraine so bad that I was uncontrollably crying. Im usually emotionally frozen so me crying is a big deal. And what did they do? Nothing, they left me in a room in severe pain. My head felt like it was on fire on top of my migraine. God i am sick of stupid people. Right now I have taken most of my normal meds and they are proving ineffective on this migraine so i guess i have to move on to my fall backs and crawl to bed in the hopes that i can sleep. Maybe I will be brave enough to find a new doctor tomorrow.
Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!
I can hear the frustration in your SharePost, Aileen. Hang in there. Here is some information that may help.
Migraine is a genetic neurological disease that at times is exhausting and frustrating.
Anti-depressants are often used to treat Migraines since depression can occur with Migraine disease. If you have more than 3-4 Migraine attacks a month it is time to think about taking preventive medications. If you are taking preventives, and still getting too many attacks then it's time to re-evaluate your plan. There are many medications to try, it just takes time to find the right one.
