Tried Every OTC Migraine Relief, Only Makes It Worse. Skull Cracked, Blood Spots In Brain. Intense Pain. Treatment ?
All of the women in my mother's immediate family suffer from severe chronic migraines. When I was a teenager I would get them every now and then, but for the past 2 years or so I will have at least 3 a month (and that's not even counting headaches) and the migraines last 3 days. I have tried every OTC migraine relief I could find, and have also tried a few types of triptans and ergots but they seem to make it worse. I don't know if this would matter but when I was 4 my skull was cracked and I bled on three spots in my brain. The pain is so severe and intense and I don't know how much longer in can take the pain. Also, I'm not sure if this would qualify to make an emergency room visit or wait a few weeks before I can see my general doctor.

hi.. you are taking the drugs out of counter for migraine.. migraine is the diagnosis of exclusion, there is no diagnostric test for this.. dont self medicate, see your physician for the diagnosis of any other cause of headache and get treatment.. good luck.
