i’ve had to drop out of college and quit my job and watch everyone i know move on with their lives while im left behind with a migraine so bad no one seems to have answers for me anymore. no medication has helped me and im tired of watching my life from the backseat

I literally have gone through 7 neurologists because of this. But I finally found someone that has helped after 14 years of no relief. I did half my high school career homeschooled because of it, I understand how you feel. Is there anyway you can try and find another doctor? I know it’s hard to believe but there’s someone out there that will listen and help.

Yep just being passed around in the endless cycle of “ask your mom” “ask your dad”

is it too much to ask for relief?

You might want to look for relief outside of neurology and the er. Like Botox, acupuncture, medical trialing, or something else if you haven’t already

I’m really sorry, I’ve been in that same position for the past two years from different conditions. What helped me work through it was “fuck it, I’ll try everything” and doing the strangest things possible to try and find relief. If you’ve ever watched supernatural, it feels a bit like them trying to fight a monster without knowing what it is and digging up the most vague lore to try and kill it

Try the weirdest things, like I’ve seen a woman who had migraines that no medication helped and she just started downing a can of tuna when she felt a migraine coming on and that… helped fix it? I don’t get migraines too often but my mom and dad both do so I’ve seen a lot of weird things

Sorry for just dumping this information, if you’re just wanting to vent that’s so valid and you’ve got every right to just let it out
