I had ocasional migraines (two or three a year) for ten years or so but on June 21 ,2007 this one started out of the bluen no aura , no numbing in the hand ,arm or face no slurred speech, just the sharp crushings pain.  No illness, no trama, no stress, nothing.

Chiroprator would help for ten to fifteen minutes.He got xrays of tailbone to top of head and cat scan of mid back to top of head all w/in normal limits. went to firt neurologist got MRI w and w/out die and two lumbar punctures one w/opening pressure all w/in normal limits.  Her treatment keep increasing the morphine to break the pain cycle.  Didn't do anything but make me not care about anything. I could not live that way. 

Switched to Dr LaWall.  Tried many things all kinds of blood work heavy metals, toxins, molds, alergins, hormones.  We have tracked everything that has entered my body for months at a time. cut out caffee for 30 days cut out milk and all dairy for 30 days cut off all beef for thirty days cut out all articicial sweetners for 39 days nothing has had any impact.  Played with lots of the different drug therapies without much success except verrapamil did drive my heart rate down to 38 beats per minutes for about three minutes while I was in th ER.  Needless to say the ER staff went into overdrive for a bit.

Tried steriods nortriptorlene lapimital imitrex and opcipital nerve block.  The nerve block worked to lower the pain level to the 4 to 5 range for almost 5 days
