Chronic migraines becoming unbearable
Ive had a constant migraine for 3 months and its slowly getting worse. at first, it was a dull throbbing headache and now its just a full on fire headache and making it impossible to think or focus. Nothing seems to work on it. ive tried everything to get it to go away. how do i manage this?

Do you have a neurologist you could contact? I've had this happen and was prescribed a steroid taper. It worked. Good luck!
Last 5 years 24x7 headaches/ migraine (with auras) my "new normal". Head pressure, I found correlation between the weather atmospheric pressure and pressure on brain. I've journal the head pressure with weather app (up or down - accuweather app) atmospheric pressure. If I try to read or work on computer for more than 30 - 45minutes, strong burning sensation top front of brain. Been working with Neurologist (CT Scan and blood work) - learned taking Tylenol to long causes rebound headaches.
Relief - I had first Vyepti Infusion (once every 3 months), Wonderful! Pain level of 8 down to 4, which increased to steady 6 after 30 days. 2nd Vyepti Infusion in couple of weeks. Note: The two previous Migraine Infusion, very strong, but little relief.
Neurologist refer me to Immunologist (Allergy/Immunology). I had a very productive 1st appointment. I keep notes on Symptoms, Current and Previous medications, previous health issues - no sleep history from smart watch, Family history, etc. She requested Lab work (Blood test) for some new things I had not heard before (I can't remember what they were right now). She mentioned that she would need to refer me to another Immunologist for deeper insight.
It has helped me to bring research papers like the following, to get the point across I'm serious.
Is something causing the Brain inflammation - Yes.
