I have just read the stories online today, and so many were just like mine. I have suffered for over 30-years with chronic vascular migraines. The only answer is to consider a comprehensive headache clinic. Because I am in the state of Illinois I found mine helpful outcome in Chicago. And now I have been going there for over 20-years, and although hospitalized 3 times as an inpatient, to my knowledge there is no other facility like this Clinic in the U.S. They are on the cutting edge of migraine research, teaching, and developing. They have helped people worldwide. My doctor is the clinic’s director, and an outstanding person. She will work with you until you get relief! I have wanted to give up many times but she tries new medications and encourages me.
I was hospitalized in late 2010 for eight days. I am now taking anti-depressants, muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory medication, and an MAO inhibitor, and I have had no side effects. I can honestly say that I AM HEADACHE FREE!
I encourage you to check with the NHF for inpatient locations as these are the ones that can typically get you back on your feet!
