   <p>Heidi, <br> It's true that migraines and fibromyalgia are often comorbid, meaning they are diseases that occur at the same time, but are not caused by each other. 35 out of 100 chronic migraine patients also have fibro. <a href='http://migraine.com/blog/migraine-comorbidities-fibromyalgia/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>http://migraine.com/blog/migraine-comorbidities-fibromyalgia/</a> <br> <br> But that doesn't mean there's nothing that can be done about your Migraines. They can be treated separately or sometimes there are meds that can target both issues. <br> <br> It is not uncommon for Migraines to change as you get older. But when you get one that is not like the others, it's definitely time to check in with your doctor to make sure there isn't another issue at hand. If you are now having Cluster Headaches, there are a whole set of drugs and therapies that are used specifically for these types of headaches (such as oxygen therapy). <br> <br> If you feel your neurologist isn't taking your concerns seriously, think about going to a Headache Specialist who can help to properly diagnose you and the over 300 types of headaches that exist. Here's a list of these types of doctors in the US: <a href='http://www.ucns.org/globals/axon/assets/10300.pdf' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>http://www.ucns.org/globals/axon/assets/10300.pdf</a> <br> <br> Go with your gut and seek more answers! <br> -Katie</p>
