Headaches

I am a 14 year old girl. For the past 5 years i have suffered from headaches, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. The vomiting is new and becoming more frequent and the headaches are getting worse. About a year ago i was tested and then treated for chiari malformation 1. My surgery went well and the fluid in my spine has been doing much better, But im still having headaches when they were suppose to go away instantly.

Over the years I had surgery for trigger thumb when i was 4, and scoliosis which has been resolving itself since the chiari surgery.

Over the years I have been on 20 plus medication for headaches, but none even dented it. Same with heavy pain medication.

I also have had MRI's of my spine, neck, and head as well as a CT where they injected dye in my spine and then took a CT of my head. I have also seen a few neurologists who gave up after throwing prescription at me or saying that the headaches would go away because of the surgery. They didn't.

Personally I think something is physically causing the headaches.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks

Hi, I have had my eyes tested and my actual eyes themselves have been examined. Both turned out to be fine. Thanks though.
