Anyone else with migriane?

I've had them for over 20yrs now but since sept 2004 I've only had one or two days a week without one. I have other health problems too which limit my mobility which probably doesn't help. I suffer a combination of migraine with aura/sinus migraine and sinus headache so usually have one or the other each day. It's got to the point where it's actually as debilitating as my other illness and I end up spending the middle of each day incapacitated with the pain and nausea.

My GP has said the migraine clinic won't have any more resources than the surgery and hasn't had good results from them with other patients. I would happily spend every penny we have in the bank on private treatment if I thought it would help but I just don't know what to do atm.

Anyone else a chronic sufferer? And any advice/want to have a good old moan about it?

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this: Sorry, giving or asking for medical advice is not permitted on this forum as it’s not what this site is about. While discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments and how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable we ask you specifically not to discuss what to do in the event of certain medical problems (please see this rule on the Health Board). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].
