Alicia,
A specialist is exactly what you need. There are so
many medications and combinations of medications being used for Migraine
prevention these days that it would be virtually impossible for you to have
tried them all. No, preventives don't work for every Migraineur, but the odds
are on your side.
The other thing that's exceptionally important in cases
such as yours where there are multiple medical issues is that all of your
doctors need to be willing to consult and work together as a team for your
health, and you need to be a part of that team. Research your conditions, ask
questions of your doctors. Keep a good journal of your Migraines and other
symptoms. You didn't mention what your Migraine triggers are. If you don't know,
that's something you can investigate by journaling.
There's a link to our list of recommended doctors at
the bottom of this page.
Best of luck,
Teri Robert
