Three Weeks of Debilitating Headaches - Headaches & Migraines Message Board

Hello!

I'm 16 years old, and for the past three weeks I have been suffering from severe "migraines". I've seen three pediatricians, two neurologists, been in the ER, an eye doctor, and a chiropractor. I've also been on nearly 11 different medications now. NOTHING is working.

They come and go whenever they please and last about an hour.
I've had scans and x-rays and blood work and all sorts of stuff, and they still cannot determine what is wrong.

None of the medicine is giving me any relief. I've tried Tylenol, Excdedrin, Axetil, Medrol Dose Pack, Hydrocodone, Imitrex, Indomethacine, Prednizone, Morphine, Percocet, and Valium. I'm also on Nexium to help my stomach with all these pills.

I'm also very dizzy, occasionally nauseous, and some chest pains, but mainly the intense headaches in the front of my head.

I'm supposed to leave for Paris, France on April 1st.
My mother is very concerned, and may cancel the trip if we don't see an improvement.

Any tips/suggestions/comments/etc?

Keep going to doctors. Sometimes it takes a good doctor to finally order the right tests and get to the bottom of the problem. Don't stop going. Also.... make sure you have you TMJ joint checked by a dentist that specializes in it. Sometimes this can cause horrid headaches and dizziness. Don't rule it out.
