Default What left to do? Terrible daily headaches...?

I have tried everything over the counter...and even some prescription. I keep getting tossed from doctor, to doctor, to doctor.Excedrin--nopeBenedryl, Tylenol & Caffeine--nopeunhealthy amounts of Advil---nopeAleve---nopeSinus meds---nopeTramadolTramadol ER (on now and doesn't do a thing...)TopamaxCymbaltaWelbutrinMidrinMobicIndera lKlonopinSomaVicodin (only thing that has given me relief...but hard to get a hold of...and that doesn't always work...)I've been to three neurologists, 5 chiropractors, i just get referred to others around and around and around. Why can't ONE doctor just help me?? I am at the point where I hate my life. I am 23 and should be having the time of my life...I feel like a 80 year old woman..I never go out...I never do anything, I am miserable and constantly in pain. Exercising makes my head pound more...yoga helps for about 5 minutes after and then it's all back.It's 4th of July weekend and I want to enjoy it...does ANYONE have ANYTHING...tips...different over the counter cocktails...i'm at a loss...I've tried Fioricet, I forgot to list it....I'd consider it being food if it wasn't my neck and tension going along with it, that absolutely kills...maxalt--triedimmatrex--tried, made it worse...

Keep asking, you'll find the right doctor who will get to the bottom of it. It's really sad that it's that way, but many people have to get 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th opinions. Ever see Medical Mystery on the health channel? Happens all too often.So you almost have to become your own doctor. Research the internet, find other people who have the same symptoms so that you can give the physicians leads to look follow.Keep searching, but do your own research on your symptoms. The internet is a great resource. I wouldnt recommend self medicating simply because you may be treating the wrong thing, and drugs do affect the tissues, and body systems, so be careful with suggested cocktails. The way the pain meds work is by blocking the perception of pain in the brain. Obviously, that's not working, so it is something else.It has to be frustrating, so hopefully you'll find the right doctor soon. Just keep searching and holding on.

Maxalt MLT or just Maxalt. Sounds like migraines... I got diagnosed with migraines, depression, and anxiety all in one trip to the doctor. Turns out they all coincide with each other. This medication is kind of dangerous... if you take it and you don't have a migraine you can have a stroke. It works really well though.

Have you tried Immitrex? Also you need to think how long, or since when have you had daily headaches. Consider total abstenance from caffiene and diet sodas, only natural substances like juice and water. Try keeping a food diary. Sometimes an allergy to food can cause migraines such as to Sodium Nitrates which is in bacon, bolony,ham and most processed meats as a preservative. Also monosodium glutamate give some people headaches. I feel for you! My sister used to have terible migraines and come to find out she could not torerate Sodium Nitrates. The problem with this type of food allergy is that you can eat a certain food once, but if you eat the same thing several days in a row such as when you bake a ham, can be when the migraine is induced. Some people are allergic to Corn or wheat that may trigger. So try some experimenting on your on with the foods and see if something makes them worse or more frequent. Also I hope that your doctor did an CT Scan of your head or MRI to make sure there isnt a brain lesion or something. Wish I could be more helpful but this is it other than a pain clinic and botox injections help some.

HI I'm trying to find some info for you but I need more info from you..There are dozens of types of headaches and each one has different symptoms and causes that is why you are bounced doctor to doctor. So I'm am shooting from the hip on this. I would say you might be suffering from a tension headache caused by stress. according to a book I have most headaches are tension headaches, which get worse when you are under stress. You may have tightness or pain in the muscles of your neck, back and shoulders with the headache. What I recommend Is Take 2 tylenol and 2 ibuprofen then apply a heat pack to your neck for ten minutes then apply a cold pack then repeat every hour and see how that works. I'm guessing it will help
