Hi there,

 

Having dealth with Migraine disease for so long, it sounds like it is time to get to the expert who can accurate diagnose and treat the disease- a Migraine specialist. It's important to note that neurologists aren't necessarily Migraine and headache specialists. Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? If you need help finding a Migraine specialist, check our listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists.

 

Many time people who think they have sinus issues may actually have Migraines. For more information on this continue reading this article: Sinuses Giving You a Headache? It's Probably Migraine. 

 

 

I know you're going through a rough time. If you'd like some additional support, come join our discussion forum. You'll need to register again once there because it's a separate membership database, but you can use the same member name, email address, and password that you used here.

Good luck

Nancy
