I have been suffering with migraines for years but the last year or so they have been almost on a daily basis. I have taken topamax, diamox, amitriptalene (not sure on that spelling) as preventative and have taken relpax, imitrex, zomig and now treximet. The treximet works ok because unlike imitrex I dont get sick, even thought they are suppose to be the same thing but my ins wont cover it. Cant take zomig anymore cause I am taking Cymbalta. I also take lorazapam before bed.
Ive gone to PCP numerous times, gone to Neuro with nothing more from him than my regular doc. He offered the nerve block but from what Ive read doesnt seem to be worth it. Gone to p/t several times to work on posture and neck movements. Helped the stiffness but not the migraines. Been to Pain Mgmt Specialist who wallked in, ask me nothing, based on what nurse said you arent having migraines and im gonna give you some cream to rub on the back of your head and send you to p/t. Already been there! On birth control year round as to have no periods. Also just had my eyes examined and vision changed some but have to go back due to bad allergy.
Getting botox on Monday. The only other thing I can think of is accupuncture if that doesnt work. Im tired of wasting my life laying in the bed with a headache while I have three kids that need me. Can anyone please give more suggestions on how to help pain
