I just want them to go away!

Hi everyone! My name is Carrie and I am 22 years old. I have been suffering with headaches since I was 15 years old. I have tried literally everything including: meds, nerve-blockers, PT, CAT scans and MRIs, massages, acupuncture, allergist, exercise, and more.

The drs have tried as many as 40 different meds and mixing them together. Nothing has worked.

I have symptoms of tension, cluster and migraines, so the DRs cannot figure out why I have them or what causes them. They get worse as I get older and I have them everyday.

They are never better, just seem to get worse. I really don't know what to do anymore. I am tired all the time and I work with children, I can never give them my full attention. I just want answers.
