Losing Hope

I have had migraines since the age of 22. I would have maybe one or two a month.

That all changed in the year 2008. I started having migraines everyday.

I have tried every med out there, according to all of my doctors, tried botox, had nerve blocks, you name it. I am currently on a strong painkiller which I really do not like being on and it has not helped.

The doctor I am seeing is quitting his practice leaving me stranded. I have consulted other doctors but given my history, they do not want to waste my time.

Can anyone give me some type of help or encouragement? Thanks.
