My experience-Teladoc advice - migraines and chronic tensions headaches
Hey friends,
tldr - migraines and chronic headaches my whole life. Migraines are better, but not the chronic headaches. My doctor is garbage. Anyone have any recommendations for a teladoc?
Here's my story. I developed severe hemiplegic migraines when I was in 4th grade, and had an attack about one a week. The always start with an aura, then I lose feeling in one side, then vomiting and a headache that makes me want to die (same as my mother). As I got older, they got less and less frequent, to the point now where I get about one every 4-6 months. I'll take it.
However, also my whole life, I've had pretty bad chronic headaches. I don't know if they are "migraines" or not. I say they are not, because they are not the same as my hemiplegic migraines, but I don't know if they are really a different type of migraine. My chronic headaches happen about half days. Stress, sugar, dehydration, and fatigue all are triggers, but since I get headaches almost more than I don't, it's hard to say what a "real" trigger is. They have kind of a nondescript pain; dull, squeezing pain, feels like it moves around and/or doesn't really have a defined "area." In general, temples and top of the head are the problem spots. No vomiting, but it's hard to work and they make me very irritable. Advil doesn't almost nothing, Excedrin often helps, but not always.
I've had all the normal tests throughout my life - CT, MRI, neurologists, etc. Nothing ever stood out as weird. I've been on amitriptyline (didn't help much), verapamil (same), imitrex (made me feel like I was made out of stone, absolutely horrible feeling, and it didn't help). Not on anything now.
So, that brings me to my question. I'd like to talk to someone, but I live in a very secluded area (nearest big hospital is 3 hours away), and don't want to start the life of living in a hospital again. I have a doctor here, and he sucks. He told me to try imitrex daily as a preventative, so...don't want to go back. Has anyone had good luck with any teladoc?
Thank you so much!
