jen,
just wanted to let you know, you are not alone. i feel your pain! i have suffered with migraines for the past 5 years. i am allergic to most of the medications i tried. I currently give myself dhe injections and ketorolac injections for pain ( i am only allowed 5 shots a month, so i have learned to pick and choose which headache is bad.) If i didn't have a job and 3 beautiful children to keep me going, my life would go right down the tubes. have you tried accupressure or deep muscle massages?
don't give up hope, keep fighting.
