i also suffer with migraines all the time when i get them they last for weeks sometimes even months i dont know whats causeing them. have had them for close to 11 to 12 years if not longer

i have to lay down in a dark room but sometimes they are so bad i have to go to the er to get shots then it sometimes gets better with in a few days i just had one about a few weeks ago and it was so bad i had to go to the er it was the worse one i have ever had and they did not do no tests or nothing.

just gave me 3 shots and sent me home did not like the doctor have had him before and he is mean and rude and thinks i am only there for drugs with not true i wanted to know why it was that bad and what was going on but he ordered the shots and they came in and gave them to me and then sent me home

So sorry. I also suffer with severe migraine headaches. I know what that is like. I am glad I have not had one last a month but have had them last 2-3 days. I get vision loss and throw up violently. They are so painful. I am so sorry that you suffer from these as well as all of your other problems. Like I told you before- you and I have a lot of the same conditions. I am here if you ever need to talk. Hope you are doing well today. Hope you are sleeping well. If I may ask, what kind of medications do you take? I was put on MS Contin for chronic pain and it has really helped to cut down the number of migraine headaches I have. They are also less severe. I can at least get myself to the hospital where as before I was way too sick to even get help. Hang in there my friend.

Hi, I haven't been to this site in a couple of years...I suffer with chronic migraines also. I have tried about every migraine med out there. My doctor wants me to try facet injections in my neck C1, C2, C3, and C4, I don't really want to waste money on them, because I had them once for my back pain and it only got worse. Have any of you had nerve blocks for neck pain and it help relieve your migraines? I had brain surgery in 2002 and ever since my migraines have just gotten worse. I had epilepsy brain surgery, it was a success, now I get to deal with migraines on an almost daily basis. Traded one thing for another! UGH!

I am only taking a muscle relaxer, and about once or twice a week I will take toradol, but that's all I have for pain right now, and it's not working. I don't want to take strong pain meds, but right now it maybe what I need.

I'm sorry to hear about that... Have you tried alternative things like getting a massage or something? Ask your doctor about things like a Tens Unit, for my mom it works great and she has basically gone off the meds... I hope you feel better soon!

Hey, sympathy coming your way. I have ended up in a&e and even admitted to hospital for my migraine symptoms. Today is Behcet's syndrome awareness day and I really want to spread the word about this disorder and other forms of vasculitis. If you have migraine plus other unexplained symptoms please consider vasculitis as the potential culprit. When I look on these forums I see a lot about Lyme's disease and other things but rarely a mention of Behcet's. so little is known of it or understood and it doesn't show up on regular blood tests. I feel more people may have it or other types of vasculitis but remain undiagnosed for years or even a lifetime!

Rather than make ask questions or offer suggestions about things you may have already been through, it might help to give us a brief summary of any diagnoses and treatments you've tried for migraine.

I finally got a correct DX and direction for effective treatment after seeing the right migraine specialist (practice limited solely to headache/migraine).

Best wishes,

Doc
