   <p>I&#39;ve been living with a migraine for 3months now. The pain has not stopped for 3 months and im still waiting on the hospital to run some test. These migraines are everyday and it has been NON-STOP everyday. Im so tired of having to live with it and to tell my husband that i wake up with a migraine and go to bed with a migraine everyday. It makes me so tired physically and mentally. </p>

Managing pain can definitely wear on someone in many ways. Are you seeing a migraine specialist?

      <p><inline-mention username="Magret80" user-id="4560627"/> I&#39;m so sorry you are living in such constant pain with an intractable migraine attack. I do want to echo others here to encourage you to prioritize seeing a migraine specialist as there are thankfully a deep bench of treatments available these days. So many of us who spent years suffering are now able to use a combination of treatments (rescue meds and/or preventatives) to help keep these kind of intense attacks at bay more frequently than not. I remember that tiring feeling of having to repeatedly report to my then husband that I was, yes, still having a migraine attack. I was tired of having one and also tired of talking about it! I really understand where you are and am so with you. Take a look at this resource to see if you can get in front of a migraine specialist sooner than later: <a href='https://headaches.org/resources/healthcare-provider-finder/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://headaches.org/resources/healthcare-provider-finder/</a>. Keep in touch and know we are thinking of you. Warmly, Holly (migraine.com team).</p>

My husband used to go through those types of cycles regularly and was hospitalized many times because of it. I&#39;m sorry you are enduring this. Here is a link to help you locate a headache specialist. <br/>https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/find-a-doctor/<br/>I hope this helps. I understand how migraine attacks can really wear you down, especially when you can&#39;t find any relief. Hang in there and keep us posted.
