Lately i've increasingly been living in the fear that I'll wake up with a migraine. Not your my head hurts suuuper bad so ill just lay down with a pillow on it, i'm talking puking in a bucket every three minutes can't hear because my ears are ringing so loud, double vision type migraine. This has been happening at least twice a week. I see a neurologist but so far all he's given me is a bunch of pills that don't work and make me feel like i'm on fire. I am completely nonresponsive to triptans. The day before yesterday he gave me injections in the back of my head that turned my scalp numb but my actual headache worse. My hips are always sore from getting shots to abort my migraines, it's expensive and incredibly frustrating to have to go to the dr so much but that's the only way i know so far that I can get relief.
My neurologist said he's not sure what else to do with me besides enroll me in a headache clinic and possibly give me botox. I feel like giving up on ever feeling better again. Mentally I'm not doing good either which aggravates my migraines which aggravates my mental illness. I'm on one terrible merry-go-round. My quality of life would be zilch if I didn't have my son to think about and brighten my day. There's no way i could work right now, my migraines are ruining my life. I've tried ice, heat, hot showers, cold showers, staying away from hard cheeses and yogurts, drinking excesssive amounts of water, drinking alot of caffeine, multiple medications that have all been ineffective. Living like this is not living. I need some help in a major way but i have no idea where else to turn.
