My experience-Chronic Daily Migraines

---

I've been dealing with this for about 4 years (at least that's when I recognized it, it could be longer). It's like a 6/10 headache all the time, but my neurologist is calling it "Chronic Daily Migraines". I don't get nauseous, dizzy, or any aura in my vision, it's just pain. I'm tired all day every day regardless of how much sleep I get. Concentrating & studying makes the headaches worse. The pain is in my forehead. The only thing that helps is sleeping but I can't do that all day. I've tried these different medications with little to no improvement (not in order):

Excedrin, alternating Tylenol & Ibuprofen, Amitriptyline, Bupropion, Propranolol, Emgality, Topiramate, & Qulipta.

I've had a Blood Test, Brain MRI, & a at-home Sleep Test. But they all have come back normal. I've also did physical therapy for my neck & shoulders for a month but that didn't help. I currently take Sertraline (depression/anxiety) but I don't think that's the issue. I'm in college & everything I do needs a computer. So I'm looking at a screen most of the day. I have a blue light filter on every screen I use & in my glasses. I go to bed around midnight & get up at like 8am most days. It takes me like 30min-1hr to fall asleep & I wake up 3-4 times a night.

Any thoughts or ideas for what could be going on? I'm still meeting with my Neurologist but I wanna get an unofficial 2nd opinion.
