They may have already been to the doctor. Last year I had one that lasted for 7 months. 7 months of exhausting and painful testing that left me with a diagnosis of TIA's (Pre-cursor to strokes). I really hope that yours go away and aren't caused by anything serious, or at least that can be easily fixed.

OP, I am so sorry you have to deal with this kind of hellish pain! Believe me when I say I understand completely, I've had migraines off and on since childhood. I woke up one day in 2002 with a bitch of one thinking it'd go away and reset with rest and meds... almost 15 years later, I still have it, I've been dealing with it constantly. It's something I wouldn't wish on anyone! I have pain meds that can keep it somewhat tolerable but won't take it away completely. I broke down last year and got my Daith(ear) pierced on the main side of the pain hoping it'd help my spikes in pain throughout the day, by day 2 I was able to cut 2 doses of pain meds, 6 months later had the other one done so it wouldn't evolve and swap sides, it helped drastically compared to what it was before. Not gone completely but a hell of a lot better! $40ish piercing and less pain, I can manage that! It's less that one dose of my "rescue meds" that don't work worth a flip. You might look into that if meds aren't working and the Doc's don't know the root cause. When I told my neuro and pain management dr how much the piercing helped, they actually started suggesting it to other patients who were pretty medication resistant as an option. Also, not sure if you know about the trick of redirecting your blood flow. You put your feet & hands in bath temp water and an ice pack at the base of your scull for about 30 mins and it helps with the throbbing and redirects your blood from pounding in your head back to your extremities. Chiropractic care and massage therapy have helped with me too, but still not pain free, but a lot more tolerable than it has been in the past! Maybe talk to a neuro about checking your spinal fluid pressure and/or also a nerve block to help with the pain. I do hope you are able to get yours under control and get to feeling human again! Best of luck to you!

My bro is a sufferer .. I've researched the piercing which might help as per comment above but he also tried acupuncture which helped .. hope you feel better soon op

My migraines are caused by a bone in my spine slipping out of place..... Something a doctor may not pick up on. I always go to a chiropractor and get my spine realigned, which provides almost instantaneous relief. Maybe give that a shot.

You didn't recently get braces on your teeth, did you? I suffered with constant migraines due to the braces on my teeth. Later in life they returned due to pinched nerves in my neck, which was alleviated by my chiropractor and massage therapist.

I can sympathize. I'm currently going through the same thing. I'm on month seven I think, I've lost track it's been so long since I've been pain free. I've had multiple trips to the hospital er and have been to the neurologist. Good luck finding the right treatment.

...and the doctor prescribed nothing?

You need to see a doctor.

Theres a piercing on your ear you can get!

Hey OP, I used to get chronic migraines too, minimum of 2 a week and they knocked me out for a minimum of 2 days a time. I know this will probably sound pseudo-sciencey, but do you drink anything with aspartame in on the regular? I found out that was what was causing mine and as long as I don't drink it I don't get migraines any more! It's usually in diet sodas, but I've also recently found it in some non-diet sodas and squash. Might be worth a try, but if not I imagine your doctors and specialists know what they're doing. Good luck!
