10 yrs of migraines

10 yrs of migraines

I am a 30 yr old female who has suffered migraines for almost 10 yrs.  Since the preganancy of my daughter.  My mother also suffered exact migraines.  She had a hysterectomy and has not had another migraine since.  I have 2 Dr.s that believe my headaches are hormonel related and baromic pressure related.  Please forgive my spelling.  I experience a migraines atleast once or twice a week.  I am familiar at the ER (where the Dr.s are great, some nurses are another story until they see me vomitting everywhere).  In the past 7 yrs I have tried every thing.  Triptans, things like Migranal, Cafergot, Imitrex,Topamax,Birth Control, you name it,I've tried it.  I use to have to go in for shots of Demerol and Phenergan then started becoming allergic to that.  Darvocet gives me rebounds, They prescribed me Tylenol with codeine but I became allergic to the codeine.  They now use a medication on me, only when I visit the Dr. It's a nubain shot and phenergan.  I've been on this for about 3 yrs now but only when I am seen by a Dr.  I'm so lost.  I can't afford to keep going to he Dr. for these shots.  I had one Dr. who would have prescribed it to me with no problem but he was out of state and was a visiting Dr. who couldn't over step my Dr.  He specializes in Phyciatry, so it wouldn't help to even travel to go see him. My depression worsens all the time cause the pain I am in.  I am suppose to be going to a new neurologist this month but am scared to because they will probably just want me to go through everything I have already been through.  I don't do drugs, I have never been addicted to prescription drugs, so I don't understand why I can't get a Dr. to prescribe me Nubain.  I know it's a narcotic analgesic, however it's the best medication they have found to work for me.  I do get aura' with some of my headaches but not all.  I just want relief without having to travel to travel to get a shot and pay major bucks.  Am I asking to much?  I have a EMT who said she would have no problem giving me the shots when I needed them if I could get it prescribed.  What are my chances of getting this type of medication from the neurologist?  Are they slim.  My first neurologist was a joke and spent the whole time talking about what hot dogs where made of and told me not to eat them, no medication no nothing.  I have no triggers except weather changes and hormones.  Sorry I am going on and on and ready to cry cause I don't know where to go anymore.  I am getting so depressed about this again because I can't get help.  8 months ago I just got out of a hospital for depression and thought we found answers.  After I was released, I was ignored.  Now I am starting over.  Can anyone please help me. Tired of the pain so bad.
