Migraine for Months

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone. I've been reading your posts for a while and want to thank you all

for giving

good advice and support to each other. I've learned a lot.

I'm posting tonight because I just don't know what to do anymore about this

migraine. It

NEVER goes away. I've had it since almost January. I've been to my

rheumatologist, my pain

specialist and my regular doctor. I've been to the emergency room - which is not

unusual

as that is what the pain specialist tells me to do when it gets so bad that my

meds at home

don't work. I take Norco (too limited a supply to be effective), Phenergan (for

nausea), and

Flexeril for the migraines. I also take Zonegran (anti-seizure med for

migraine), Limbrel

(anti-inflammatory for fibro), Ativan (for anxiety), Remeron (for depression),

and Requip

(for restless legs).

It's getting to the point that I might have to quit working because I cannot

cope with this

pain anymore. My depression has gotten severe. I am seeing a therapist. I can't

do much of

anything like go out because my eyes are so light sensitive. My sunglasses are

always on. I

am an artist who cannot make art because the light hurts. Just posting this

hurts.

Sometimes the pain gets so bad I pass out. I feel a really bad one coming on and

have

taken meds but I really do not want to have to go to the ER anymore. My doctors

keep

bouncing me back and forth between them at this point like they don't know what

else to

do and I'm losing hope.

Has anyone had a problem like this? What have you done about it? If you have not

had a

problem like this, do you have any suggestions for what I can do, research, or

say to my

doctors? Please, help me with this. I don't know where else to turn.
