If you haven't seen: a neurologist that is a must. If you have been placed on a specific regimen for your migraines that isn't working consider another option. Discuss the option of acupuncture with your physician. Both auricular and Chinese Scalp Acupuncture can be extremely helpful for headaches. Take care.

Migraine or rebound?: Your med list says you take Excedrin migraine. This med is notorious for causing what we call rebound headache. You take it and get relief, but then the headache returns worse, so you take more, and soon you're in a cycle of constant headache and no relief. See a neurologist who specializes in headaches. They can make sure of the cause of your problem and help you plan treatment. Good luck!

Headache diary: You should start documenting your symptoms and other important information about your headaches into the form of a table so that a headache specialist can analyze it quickly and diagnose the type of headaches you are having and suggest appropriate therapy.
