Hi,

A new member posted something about having intractable daily migraines. I googled it but all I found were treatments and no definition for what it is. Can someone explain it to me?

I have been researching a lot lately but haven't been able to pin down what type of "migraineur" I am.

-Thanks :)

Intractable simply means that it's not responding to medications. It's not a diagnosis of a specific type of Migraine. Your doctor should "pin down" your Migraines and give you a diagnosis, You can find info on different types of Migraines on our Types of Migraines and Headaches section.
