Can you help my migranes?

Question

I'm in my mid teens and I have had one migraine for the last 2 months! Recently (as in a few days ago) I week to Michigan for 2 days and my migraine stoped. Once I got back to Illinois they started. I've gone to doctors and they said yes they are migraines. One told me to record EVERYTHING I do, and how I feel in a headache diary and she also put me on a stronger dosage of medication (ibuprofen). The follow up doctor was a different person who worked in the same office. He didn't look at my diary, but told me not to up my dosage than sent me to have a CT done. I did and that came up normal! He also did blood work for my allergens since I just got a dog. Turns out I'm not allergic to anything, anymore! I found one website with a place that specialized in migraines but they are talking about giving me things like botox and depression pills to stop the migraines. I'm a teen I don't need botox or depression pills. Anyway, I'm asking do you know any reason why my migraine has lasted so long? What I can do about it....besides see ANOTHER doctor?

Answer 1

I am 27 and I was having bad migraines for several years. I was on so many different medications and nothing helped. Every cat scan and MRI came back normal, too. I would have to go to the hospital for pain medicine. They completely went away when when I was trying to get pregnant. It turns out it was my birth control pills!  I don't know if you are on birth control pills, but that was my problem. I know how frustrating it is not to know the causes of migraines because they are miserable. Don't give up- good luck!

Granted you may not be allergic to any thing but or however, this would not show up. Some people just have way to much potsaim(sp) in there body and that gives them headaches as you have decribed. Bananas and grapefurit juice are most common one but I'm sure if you read the labels of other you will find they also contain plenty. It could also be to much salt or not enough salt in your diet. To much caffein from soda or coffee. One could reduce the amount and try to keep a lower less stressful life. Just some random thoughts.
