Migraine and neuropathic eye pain

I have been taking frovatriptan for several years,but now my neurologist wants me to try topiromate and pregabalin.
I have severe ocular pain due to long term corneal problems and 2 failed corneal grafts over a period of 26 years and i have had severe migraines throughout the same period. Frovatriptan worked well as it enabled me to get througha working day,but recently it has stopped being effective,hence the change.I also have a non epileptic attack conditon and a reaction to all forms of anaesthesia whuch complicate things.I work all day on a computer in a darkened room(i am a retinal screener/grader)so i have to be careful.I am concerned as to what to do if i have an attack,as i am totally non functional during one,which can last for 4 days and sometimes transfer sides for another 4 days.Any suggestions?

Hi,

The best way to manage a migraine attacks is to lie down in a quiet dark room and apply cold compresses to the head and neck. A cup of coffee may also help. I would suggest you to try magnesium supplements also as they have been found to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks. B complex supplements will help with neuropathic pain
If your symptoms are uncontrollable then you will have to take medications like topiramate which also help in reducing the frequency of migraine attacks and pregabalin for neuropathic pain.
Alternate therapy like acupressure and acupuncture may also help.
