Isn't it funny how migraines react so differently in different people? Personally I take two aspalgin ( aspirin and codiene), turn on the air con and go to sleep. It usually is resolved by the time I wake up. We also use IV paracetamol or toradol with good effect. I still remember my first migraine, thirteen years old and dry retching in the street, the treatment of choice then was morph and maxalon. Good luck with finding out what is causing all this pain.

A friend of mine had crippling migraines for years until she discovered that they were caused by a jaw misalignment that a very minor surgery corrected.

I fortunetly went to a dental specialist for TMJ and was made a molded mouthpiece to wear at hs, and 6 weeks od intense oral physical therapy. That blew me away the knowledge the PT provider had and taught me to relieve the unimaginable muscles we have tucked away in tne mouth. The mouth piece helped so much.

I also suffer from esophageal spasms from whooping cough complications. And I hear ya about the "attitude" from the ER staff. Early on with the illness and no dx, I had collapsed at work. Went un diagnosed for 4 months, coughing so hard my rectum was falling out and vomiting, and the "FIRED NOW' Dr. wrote physchogenic ad a diagnosis in my hospital chart. Unbeleivable......

I wish you the best luck and blessing in finding a great neurologist, mine actually has a migraine HA clinic system set up to help the patients within the practice.

Peace Out

Many months later, I'm doing much better...I'm still getting migraines...but they don't last nearly as long.
We're still increasing my topamax dosage every month...but I've only actually had vomiting once in the past 4 months and it only lasted 24 hours. I've learned to follow the barometric pressure very closely, and to take a triptan if it suddenly rises.
