Headaches for over 4 months

I've been experiencing a headache every day for the past 4 months. It has gradually been getting worse as the weeks go on.

My doctor prescribed me medication for chronic tensions which didn't help at all. Then she sent me for an MRI without contrast that came back negative.

The headaches have always been worse first thing in the morning when I wake up. I have to sometimes get out of bed the second I wake because its that bad. I have woken up at about 4am countless times with bad nausea, having to induce vomiting before I feel better and everyday I deal with nausea on a low scale.

Over the counter pain medication has no affect either.

I am getting so sick of it and my next appointment with my doctor isn't for a while.

Has anyone experienced the same thing? If so what was wrong and how did you fix it?

Hello!  My family has had a history with migraines.  I don't get as many as you seem to, but I do get them a lot.  My doctor had prescribed me with SUMAtriptan (Imitrex EU) 100 MG TAB.  I have a sensitive stomach so only take 1/2 a pill at a time.  I noticed that I tend to get them most when I am upset or stressed, or like Margypops had stated, from allergies.  My husband gets headaches (not migraines, but headaches) almost everyday from allergies too.  I noticed that days that I am stressed or upset, my teeth tend to clench (or if i cry i get them too because of the muscle tension), and that always results in a migraine either than night and into the next day or starting the next day.  I would suggest to try your best to note things that happen in your day-to-day activities to see if they may correlate at all with your migraines.  Doctors are helpful, but a lot of it is trial-and-error with their patients to get to the actual cause.  Even if you try making a diary or something to note different emotions you go through, foods you eat, and any medical issues you are feeling to try to find a connection.  I hope you are able to find out what is creating those migraines and the best of luck to you!
