 <inline-mention username="CommunityMember1d1d39" user-id="6901889"/> I'm sorry to hear you've been trying to manage migraines from cervical pain and fusion. I also try and manage this type of pain. Have you got any tips or tricks to help ease up the horrible pain? Rebecca (team member)

I’ve had migraines since before I was a teenager and I’m 65 now. They incapacitate me. I have to go to bed in a darkened room with no noise after taking my meds.

I heard from a number of people - females in particular - that their migraine changed as they got older. Wishing you a gentle day, Tracy (Team Member)

 Yesterday, Dec 5th, I suddenly got an extremely sharp pain in the left side of my head. Usually, my Migraines start on the left side of my head and I take a 2.5mg tablet of Naratriptan and I lay down with an ice pack on my forehead Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, I got the same sharp pain on the right side of my head and both sides were off the charts. I immediately took an Imitrex injection because I knew that this was going to be long term. I then got a very cold ice pack, laid down on my bed with the ice pack on my forehead and I was able to go to sleep for almost 2 hours. When I awoke, the ice pack was warm; but my Migraine had disappeared. I get chronic Migraines daily but never with the pain that I had yesterday. I have no idea of why this happened nor what triggered it. I am extremely careful in what I eat, because so many foods will trigger my Migraines, but there was nothing out of the ordinary before it came on. Hopefully this doesn't happen again; LOL.

 Hi <inline-mention username="kaplan34" user-id="3888411"/> Thank you for joining the conversation. It can be alarming when we have new and/or different symptoms or patterns to our migraine attacks. While it's not uncommon for migraine symptoms and patterns to change over time, it's typically a good idea to let the doctor know so they can make sure everything checks out OK. I am relieved to hear this particular attack resolved. Migraine is a complex neurological disease, one we didn't ask for! We can be the perfect patient, do all the "things" and still have attacks. It's so frustrating. My fingers are crossed this doesn't happen again as well. I hope you have a low pain weekend, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator (team member)

I have migraines sometimes 5-6 times a week or ones that last 3-4 days! My husband helps as much as he can, getting ice packs, something to drink or just massaging my neck & shoulders, but to no avail! It helps but not much! As I've gotten older, the migraines have come more often. If it's on the right side, they are extremely painful, but I take my Maxalt & after 4-5 hrs of sleeping, it's gone. If it's on the left side, it is intense & last 3-5 days. Been to ER many times because I couldn't get relief! They used to give pain meds in an injection & that would stop it in a heartbeat. Now, though, they give only migraine medicine injections & those don't do a thing for my migraines! I've tried explaining that to the ER doctors, but they don't listen, so I'm sent home with no relief!! I thought doctors were supposed to help & listen to their patients needs! I go home, throwing up & head pounding so hard, I wish I could die for it to stop! I have tried so many meds it's pathetic! Maxalt helps but does not get rid of them completely! If it doesn't, I have to cope sonehow!

 <inline-mention username="CommunityMember9918770" user-id="9918770"/> I'm so sorry you are struggling with debilitating migraine attacks. I hear how frustrating and exhausting this is. The ER is awful for people with migraine. Between the noise, lights, smells and wait time, it's not a good experience. The thing is when we have four or more attacks a month, it's time to discuss migraine prevention with the doctor. Episodic migraine (14 or fewer migraine/headache days a month) can transform into chronic migraine (15 or more migraine/headache days a month) fairly quickly, without proper treatment and no one wants to be chronic! <a href='https://migraine.com/frequency-episodic-chronic' target='_blank'>https://migraine.com/frequency-episodic-chronic</a>. Please don't lose hope, there are over 100 medications, supplements, devices, complementary therapies and lifestyle modifications that can be used to manage migraine disease and most of us are on a combination of these, I sure am. <a href='https://migraine.com/blog/migraine-preventives-start' target='_blank'>https://migraine.com/blog/migraine-preventives-start</a> May I ask what kind of doctor you see? It may be time to reach out to a doctor who is a true expert in treating migraine and headache disease. General neurologists may be fine doctors however it's difficult for them to be experts in one disease state as they treat so many including stroke, MS, epilepsy, Parkinson's and more. Migraine/headache experts have extra board certification in headache medicine that not all neurologist have and treat migraine and headache all day, every day. They can have a huge impact in our care. I can tell you first hand these experts have made a positive difference in my quality of life. Let me share some of our articles on this topic: <a href='https://migraine.com/living-migraine/evaluating-doctor-patient-relationship-right-fit' target='_blank'>https://migraine.com/living-migraine/evaluating-doctor-patient-relationship-right-fit</a> <a href='https://migraine.com/living-migraine/how-to-evaluate-doctor' target='_blank'>https://migraine.com/living-migraine/how-to-evaluate-doctor</a> <a href='https://migraine.com/blog/really-find-headache-specialist' target='_blank'>https://migraine.com/blog/really-find-headache-specialist</a> <a href='https://migraine.com/living-migraine/hiring-right-doctor' target='_blank'>https://migraine.com/living-migraine/hiring-right-doctor</a> <a href='https://www.ucns.org/Online/Online/Diplomate_Directory.aspx?hkey=f8f00552-f924-4ef6-a9bb-6023b1cd341b' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://www.ucns.org/Online/Online/Diplomate_Directory.aspx?hkey=f8f00552-f924-4ef6-a9bb-6023b1cd341b</a> <a href='https://migraine.com/living-migraine/how-to-find-a-neurologist-or-headache-specialist' target='_blank'>https://migraine.com/living-migraine/how-to-find-a-neurologist-or-headache-specialist</a> I hope I didn't overwhelm you with all this information.
