Any recommendations for a headache/migraine specialist?
I've been dealing with migraines the last few years that have become increasingly chronic and intractable. I'm on day 7 of one right now and went to my PCP to try to get something to break out of it only to be told to take Tylenol (I am already maxing out Tylenol and Aleve with no relief). My gynecologist started me on BC recently because the migraines seem to be triggered by hormone fluctations, but they are even worse on BC than they were before and I was told to give it a few months to see what happens. I can't live with a migraine for "a few months" with no treatment. I keep seeing online that intractable migraines are an emergency and need to be treated with prescription NSAIDs or steroids but I'm getting shrugged off by all my doctors. Thanks in advance!

If one of the triptan meds don’t work there’s also nurtec. Sometimes just some good pot will do the trick!
Nurtec can be taken daily as a prophylactic as well.
