Migraine overview
A migraine is a headache that can purpose intense throbbing suffering or a pulsing sensation, typically on one facet of the head. It's often accompanied with the aid of nausea, vomiting, and excessive sensitivity to mild and sound. Migraine assaults can closing for hours to days, and the discomfort can be so excessive that it interferes with your each day activities. For some people, a warning symptom viewed as an air of secrecy takes location until now than or with the headache. An air of secrecy can consist of visible disturbances, such as flashes of mild or blind spots, or different disturbances, such as tingling on one thing of the face or in an arm or leg and concern speaking.
My experience-What do you do when nothing breaks the migraine for days? A vent on my Neuro, chronic migraine, and depression from all the above
The only thing that temporarily helps the pain is high dose aspirin but the migraine does not break, so because it will be back the next day I can’t keep taking it due to medication overuse. I’m chronic and literally nothing else works. I have tried almost every triptan (awful side effects with no pain relief), Ubrelvy (which abates the pain about 50% half the time but only for a few hours), ketorolac (no dice), Medrol (nope), prochlorperazine/zofran when the nausea is bad which, unfortunately do not help, emgality, Qulipta, Botox, Topamax, propranolol, ajovy. I am sure there are more that I’m not thinking of off the top of my head.
I can’t understand why my body doesn’t accept any medication for prevention, pain abortive, nausea. I have listened to the podcast Tell Me About Your Pain which healed a lot of people but to me it was a couple dudes telling people their pain was all in their heads and all of a sudden it vanished. I wish it was that simple! Anyways, I’m hopeless and depressed due to this constant pain and my life is entirely based around my migraine. They control me because I am always having one or recovering from one.
My neurologist told me there’s nothing else she can do for me, and she is supposed to be the best in the state. I am not a difficult patient either. I just request we keep trying and she seems annoyed that I’m a complex case. She told me I need to “grin and bare it” when I told her my migraines last over a week. I need to get a new Neuro but I’m exhausted from my life of chronic migraine and the preemptive letdown of my new neuro because truly they have all sucked and downplayed my pain to me. If you are reading this thank you and I apologize for being an eeyore. I just feel despondent sometimes that I’m wasting my life with this condition with a Neuro who doesn’t care to help me and I don’t know what else to do. I try to help myself but the migraines continue every day. It’s physically and mentally so disabling.
