I am a guy and have chronic daily migraines for the past 5 years. I need relief from the pain. Please help !!!
Some background, I have had headaches or migraines since I was a kid (I’m 32 now) over time they started getting worse in intensety and more frequent. I have had several MRI’s but they come back fine. I have tried about 20 different preventative meds. I am on Topamax and Depakote daily right now. For pain I take toradol shots for the less severe and for the more severe headaches I take Fioricet w/ codeine. I don’t take the pain medication to much during the week because I don’t want to get rebound headaches or have my body get used to the medication. I have tried the headache diets, got extra sleep, less sleep, excercised more, then less, lost weight, had blood work done. I am making sure to give everything a chance to work but they don’t. Please anyone out there help me with any ideas you may have!!!!!

Have you tried going to a chiropractor yet?
You could try a chriopractor and submitt to a weekly regime of adjustments and see if that helps.
If you are deficient in magnesium taking extra magnesium every day might help. There is plenty of magnesium in nuts.
Coenzyme Q10 and apple cider vinegar every day are also both supposed to help for the prevention of migraines.
Reducing your refined sugar intake would also help as table sugar or white sugar can cause migraines. See item 71 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htm .
