Pain and Fatigue is ruining my life!

Please help! Ive got tension migraines since I was little, I went to see headache specialists and it wasn't until I was  in high school that my mom took me to a chiropractor. He took an X-ray of my neck and said it was straight up and down which is why I was experiencing pain. Throughout the years, my headaches turned into neck and shoulder pain and I was sleeping all the time...I was soon diagnoses with fibromyalgia. I've been put on anxiety meds, neurontin, pain meds and muscle relaxers. My neck pain and headaches are now constant. I've seen seen several chiropractors which did not help at all..it actually make my lower back hurt and I ended up in a back brace. I saw a neurologist who said it was just migraines and gave me something along the lines of I imatrex. I saw an orthopedic doctor who told me to go to physical therapy which I have been for 4 years. I am absolutely miserable...I haven't been myself in years. I can't make plans to do anything in fear I will have a migraine at some point. Im exhausted...I can't sleep because the pain wakes me up. I had to stop using pillows because they hurt too much. I'm a miserable person and now I am getting married in 3 months and the only thing I can think of is that I'm going to wake up for a migraine for it. I'm all out of options and I don't know what to do. Please help...

Have you had an MRI of your cervical spine?
Your neck should be curved, not straight. I don’t know how old you are but your problem sounds serious enough at least get an MRI. Ask your doctor, hopefully you have insurance. I ruptured a disc at age 40 which caused a radiculopathy, woke up at 4:00 am and my entire arm was ON FIRE! Had to go the ED.
I had horrible headaches and neck pain for years as well. I also wonder about Chiari Malformation but it’s pretty rare, lots of people don’t get diagnosed early although they’re born with it. Hope you fund the answers and are happily married!

Keep in mind that each chiropractor may do different techniques.  

Try to find a chiropractor that does either NAET AND/OR BRT. Body restoration technique.  Both these techniques are a higher level of accupunture without NEEDLES.  

AK is a technique that looks for the root cause. I have found this technique much more helpful than the standard diversified method.  

Both NAET and/or BRT can do much more than allergies.  

My husband and I have used for over 10 years for issues such as rashes,  viruses,  bacteria,  lung and cough,  blood sugar,  inflammation,  arthritis,  metals,  thyroid,  CELIAC disease. Headaches,  exposure to pesticides. Cholesterol,  joint pain,  etc.

It is certainly worth a try. I can say that both of us have had Extremely good results.  

Good luck

You sound depressed. You may ask about trying cymbalta, which is an antidepressant but also effective for pain. There are also some other medications that can help.

STOP TAKING PRESCRIBED PILLS. Find the healthy natural alternative to fix this by eating a alkaline diet and get rid of heavy metals in the body. Research and watch videos on Major auto-hemotherapy, Prolozone and Dr. Frank Shallenberger
