Please, I have not ever asked strNgers what to do but I am at a dead end...

I'm afraid your doctors are right. There is no cure.

What meds are you taking? Do you have anything to abort the migraine attack, such as triptans?

Are you taking/have you tried any preventative medication?

Hi and Welcome,

I am glad you decided to post- there are a lot of great people who give great advice here. I am sorry you are going through this.

I know you mentioned pain management- and I am glad you hav3e access to that. Are you seeing a neurologist or headache specialist for the migraines? If nothing else, he might have some ideas about preventatives or abortive for headache. Also, I am not sure what kind of pain meds you are on, but maybe you could change the current ones out- there may be something that will make you less groggy. For example, I tried the duragesic patch and it did noting except make me a zombie, but long acting morphine worked well. It is just a thought. (I had to stop most of the pain meds due to a fainting disorder- now on Tylenol 3 and tramadol for pain.)

I hope this helps.

Pain free days,
