My migraine pain I am a 31 year old man with daily migraines. I wake up with them every morning and sometimes they ease up. Other times, I go to the ER for dilaudid and phenergen. My doctor recently gave me phenergen injections for home. He prescribed the injections so I can keep the pain med's down. I am on 4mg dilaudid, 4 times a day. I have not worked in 9 months, and my family suffers because of this. We can't go on a vacations. My youngest had a bowling tournament in June and I spent most of my time in the hotel room in pain. If I move around too much I begin to vomit. Sometimes even being still I start vomiting. We can barely pay the bills we have with just my wife working. We have 3 children. The doctors have had me on every medication they can think of. I have even had Botox. My doctor had an MRI taken of my neck and found a herniated disc that he believes is irritating the occipital nerve and may be the cause of my migraines. I see a surgeon in September. I am praying that this is it. He is doctor number 16. I have been getting these migraines since 2003 and daily since 2005. The pain ranges from a 7-10 on a bad day and at least a 5 every day. I just want my life back. Normal, uneventful, pain free.
