How do you go on and cope with pain this bad?
I am in agony. I want to cry and never stop but that'll only make it worse. I have chronic migraines and I can't cope anymore. The pain is so bad. It's never ending. I'm supposed to see a headache specialist but it's taking too long. I need something to help the pain. No amount of tablets I'm on or pain medication I've taken takes away the pain. Can someone please give me some advice. I've lost all hope. I need something. Something to cling onto for dear life. Something to relight the fire that has long gone out, to carry on. To keep fighting. I don't have the strength anymore. My migraines just keep pushing me to see how much pain I can endure. I've been able to cope this far. But I can't anymore.

Warmly,
JoannaThank you so much for your response 😀
I was supposed to see the specialist a while a go. Probably at the start of the year, but the appointments got cancelled for various reasons from both me and the hospital.
I had one appointment chance left and they said I missed it when I asked to cancel it. So now they're telling me I have to get referred again by my GP.
When I first got referred, it took up to a year to get an appointment. So I'm scared that if I get referred again, I'll have to wait another year. I've sent an email to them and I'm waiting for a reply. Because I really don't think I can wait another year.
Thank you for all your help, and giving me links to look at. I'll be reading them straight away 😀Also, do you know if Aimovig is available in the UK?
