I hate that it wasn’t easy answers but I’m glad that the process has been started to find the root of the problem to get you relief.

Yeah but I'm glad it made mom and dad realize what I need.

Don't let Drs give you the run around, but I have come to understand, that intermittent problems, in both mechanical things and human health are the hardest to pin down and fix.
It's probably better to see a Dr AS the headaches are happening for the quickest diagnosis.
Good luck to you!

I’m SO sorry that it has taken so much to get them to understand the depth of your pain.

Too bad there is no such thing as a VR machine that can simulate a migraine. People would likely be a LOT more sympathetic if they felt like barfing and any noise or light is a cause to curl up into a ball and hope to die soon.

There isn't any real way to "see" a migraine. They can do CAT and MRI scans to see if something is amiss. DD1 still has the 24x7 migraine that started 11 years ago, no cause has been determined. But the Candesartan seems to help keep the "on top" headaches away pretty well.

Do you take anything when you get a migraine? Imetrix (prescription) doesn't do much for me other than maybe keep it from getting worse. DD1 most recently has had Relpax (prescription), take one as soon as the headache starts, a 2nd in an hour if necessary. But can't take it more than twice a week. Fortunately she has not had to use it much since starting the Candesartan prophylactically.

Yeah, that is to bad... But if it is lead back to an head injury i would assume they could tell from there.

I have tried several pain killers and they have never helped. But I have also never been to the doctor so they may be able to find something to help.

Do you have fencing and shelter ready??

People often find that "regular headache" medicine doesn't do much for migraines. You really need to see someone in neurology that specializes in headaches. A GP can help eliminate "structural" causes but I think they will shortly send you to a specialist. Be prepared to describe the headache. Not only where it is but if it moves, how it feels (throbbing, squeezing, etc). Do you get any auras before the migraine hits? Some people get visual auras, mine are the inability to focus on a sequence of logical steps (step 1, step 2, step 3, um ... step 1, step 2) and the need to pee a lot (and no I don't have diabetes).

The chiropractor helps mine. Just another thought. I can feel mine coming. The stiffness starts in my neck before it consumes my whole head. Length of time varies from initial symptoms to complete agony. Ibuprofen helps some and caffeine takes the edge off. I kept a migraine that started on Saturday at bay while at work on Sunday (note: I could function, I was still miserable.) by drinking a coke, five cups of coffee, and two decently high doses of ibuprofen. I haven’t ever had mine evaluated as they seem to be rooted in my neck being out of alignment. I saw the chiro today and I go again on Thur as I was far enough out of place that I’m just improved. I’m supposed to go weekly but don’t always make it. (DD2 causes schedule conflicts with all of her stuff.) Note: not all chiros are worth their snuff. If you don’t like or trust one, go to another. Start with one that is highly recommended.

Staying hydrated is supposed to help also. I try to drink lots of water but when a migraine has started, water nauseates me.

Ice where my neck and head meet gives minor relief.

Hoping you can get answers that are valid with solutions that can provide relief.

Never determined a cause for mine or a reason for them stopping. I can't remember how they started but when full blown, I had kaleidoscopic vision, very enhanced hearing (any sound was painful), puking, general disorientation, and would need a cool, dark, quiet place to curl up in till it went away, which normally took several hours and (followed by) a nap of some length.
