If nothing else,Rose, I may not have your answer,but I AM a fellow sufferer. Sometimes it helps just to know that there is someone else going thru the same thing. I've also been a nurse for 35 yrs. I had my first migraine at age 10. They told me then,when I started my periods they would go away...I just got through menopause and they have just gotten worse. I have literally tried everything in every orifice and what I am  left with is a "medication roulette" so that I do not become addicted to narcotics. I tried all the abortives, Topomax gave me glaucoma,I vomit sometimes,all over my walls,and finally had to quit work because they have become so violent and frequent. (at LEAST one a week that lasts a min. of 2-3 days) My bedroom looks like a tomb..I had special room darkening drapes made. I understand what you are going through. I'm 54,so I've been at this war for over 40 yrs. See a GOOD,board certified neurologist,that specializes in migraines.....and God wiling, you'll keep trying the latest things as I do, when they come out !! Good luck. Keep in touch.
