I am a 35 year old female. I have been suffering from migraines since I was 12. They have changed throughout the years, but recently have gotten more intense. I've tried primary doctors, neurologist, obgyns, natural and homeopathic remedies, and nothing has helped. I get the most intense migraines during my menstrual cycle. So my obgyn placed an iud in, three months ago, and hopes to help with the hormonal migraines. I have had a migraine everyday since the insertion. So my question is this, what doctor should I go to next? I'm in so much pain every day, and I just need answers, but I don't know what doctor to try next. I have tried dietary changes, lifestyle changes, an anti-anxiety med, a nerve blocker, birth control pills, and now an iud. And all of these have made the migraines worse. My primary doctor prescribed sumatriptan to treat the migraines once they happen. And it works, but I only get 9 / month because of insurance and that's not enough. I'm tired of waiting for answers, so if you can please tell me which doctor to see next that would be helpful. Every time I tell my doctor that whatever they've tried isn't working, they pass me on to another doctor because they have no idea how to help me. I'm obviously desperate because i'm asking an online doctor service. Thank you for any advice you could give. - sarah.

Hello lybrate-User, Since you have tried all medicine and doctors. So I need few answers what all investigations have you done so far. What is the reasons for triggering of migraine. Do you think too much. Are you having a good sleep at night etc etc. Since you have not mentioned in your history I would like to know. Probably I can help but will require discussion. Please take online consultation.

Diagnosis of migraine is clinical and most cases tests like CT scan etc is not needed.
Headache associated with nausea ,generally unilateral, moderate to severe in intensity, associated with photophobia, phonophobia and visual aura is classic migraine .But it is not necessary for all symptoms to be present to diagnose migraine.
Please continue with your medication and follow up with your doctor.

The issue of long term medication is worry some. But there are long term studies in favour of medication.
You need to be in constant touch with your doctor. Doctor will decide and change the medications. A sort of rotation of medication is required.
Don't take medications without doctors advice.

1. Don't Overeat
2. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it.
4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal frui...more

Hello Mr. lybrate-user ji
changing doctors every now and then I will not help you at all.
Please try to understand ankylosing spondylitis which is diagnosed by hlab27 is not an ordinary disease.
Well disease activity worsens, just tablets become in effective.
Be that anything including naproxen myoril calcium न्यूकॉक्सिया sulfasalazine methotrexate etc etc etc.
Sulfasalazine remains the mainstay of treatment in initial cases.
If you are not getting relieved by sulfasalazi...more
