Trying To Cope

I'm so sorry for all you have been through in your migraine journey.  I'm glad you currently have a type of treatment that is helping.

You should consider seeing a migraine specialist.  Click HERE for the list of specialists maintained on this site. 

I know the feeling of "I've been on every medicine known to man," too, but that is not actually the case.  There are a wide variety of medications used for migraine treatment, and they serve different purposes in our treatment.  See this article for more information:

Preventive, Abortive, and Rescue Medicines

There are seven triptans, some other abortives, over 100 preventive medications, and a variety of rescue meds.  So don't give up!
