Question:

Anyone else married to someone with migraine headaches?

My wife and I have been together now for 10 years now. She's 42 and I'm 45. We have a beautiful 7 year old daughter together plus she has a 19 year old daughter from a past relationship. The toughest thing to deal with in our relationship is my wifes migraine headaches. They have been more intense since the conception of our 7 year old. She has been on disbility for the last 2 years because she cant work at all due to the severity of the headaches. They (the headaches) have caused her sisters and friends to become distant from her. Its hard to plan any social activity in advanced since she doesn't know how she will feel from day to day. Her primary care doctor doesn't know what to do for her and she goes into depression from time to time. She has tried so many different types of medications and treatments with little or no relief. Currently she is going to a methadone clinic for treatment. This is 7 day a week issue and is taxing on us all. Is anyone else going through the same thing?


Answers:

Switch primary care Dr.s. There are other ways to deal with migraines. Does she have sinus problems that trigger the migraines? Does she have an autoimmune disease, like lupus, that can be a trigger? Have the doctor tried meds like topomax? Does she take a preventative? Is she on too much medication and having rebound headaches?

Please contact the Diamond Headach Clinic. They are great at this type of thing.
