i have 2-4 migraines a week lasting from 8 hours to 2 days. i havent been to a doctor since i lost medicare when i hit 21(6 years ago) . ive tried 15+ medications, MRI, CT scans ruled out other causes of my headaches with nausea and vomiting. its very rare that i feel okay. ive lost all my jobs due to this disease (11 jobs in the past 10 years). it stops me from attending social activities and even doing stuff around the house ill have to bail out of. i have no insurance and cannot afford a doctor but i need relief...im no doctor but i think i may have anxiety and depression caused from my migraines. ill dread having to tell people im not going to be there because i have a headache, and then ill feel horrible for when i do. ive been to a therapist for stress management when i was like 10 years old...but i feel more stressed in my mid 20s than i ever did at 10 years old. my migraines have only gotten more severe and more frequent. ive tried staying away from caffeine, chocolate, being well hydrated, and eating properly but to no avail...cant hold a job and im looked at as lazy because ill call into work so much i eventually quit because im afraid to call in and tell them i have yet another migraine. i remember the doctors ive seen got very frustrated and referred me to one another when nothing would work, all the triptans, nasle sprays, and i think i was given a shot a couple of times....i guess my question is, if i went to a doctor now without insurance...what would his/her first shot at this be? MRI? drugs?
