Suggest Treatment For Severe Migraine And Vision Problems

About 2 weeks ago I got a terrible migraine with vision change and slurred speech. I took treximet and it improved but didn t go away. Two days later exertion brought on the same headache. The dr. did an MRI and it was normal. I took prednisone for about a week and it helped. When the prednisone ended the headache returned but it is not as severe. My doctor told me to not take the trezimet due to concern of a rebound headache. My headache just won t end. What now? YYYY@YYYY
