My migraine story

I have had migraines for 12 years. They have recently gotten worse i am sensitive to sound, noise, sometimes movement and nauseous even after taking Excedrin.

Triggers sometimes involve light or sound. Today's migraine was triggered by music. When I had gone to my Nurse practicer long ago when I had health care benefits she never told me to see a neurologist. At first I was taking Advil because I thought they were headaches and not migraines. As I went on I told my NP that they were getting worse and what should i do she just gave me medicine which I couldn't work while I took them. I been taking Excedrin Migraine medicine sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work.

I find myself taking 8 Excedrin and it still don't work even tho i am in a dark and quiet room. This is my first time and I don't know what else to say.
