Aloha,
I am in empathy with your problem with chronic migraines, as I too have suffered from them for many many years. I have tried fiorinal and, like you, has worked wonders in at least allowing me to "do a day". But due to the pain, the quality of life is considerably diminished. The constant battle with pain has become nothing more than a daily art of survival.
I have,however found something you may be interested in. Its a natural alternative in powder form, and you can obtain scientific research data for this formula - which the company provides. It's called "Migra-Lieve"; E-mail address: www.naturalhealthmed.com ; phone: 800-566-3622.
Please be patient with yourself and the 'natural' path of healing - should you choose to pursue that it. Like you have probably done, I too have tried almost everything on the market for migraines. One thing I have learned is that this didnt come on over night, and it may not be alleviated over night either. When migraines hit, on an energetic level, it may indicate: a) the inability to flow easily with life b) wanting to take things at your own pace c) disliking being pushed d) the inablity to handle the pressure or stress for long periods of time e) the need to push or control a situation .
The pain medication we take is really just a bandage to cover the real, underlying problems that put the pain there (to get our attention) in the first place. There are an incredible amount of variables involved, including genetics, food allergies, ambiant temp., etc. I'm sure you've researched alot already.
If I can be of any help, please dont hesitate to write back.
Best wishes,
Cindy
