Dear Dr,

I have suffered with severe head aches for quite some time, but recently they have been getting worse.
I have noticed that I get a watery eyes before hand, the pain from my last headache was so bad I could not place my head on the pillow. I go in to a sort of 'trance' where I cant speak and my face goes numb with pins and needles sensation. My last headache I couldnt even walk.
The headaches literally put me out of my daily routines for about 3-4 days, sometimes can be longer.

I have been to see my GP so many times, but feel that they are just fobbing me off, with telling me to watch my diet (which I have done and can't pin point any trigger foods/drinks), then they told me that they are migranes and there is nothing they can do. I have regular check ups at my opticians as I do wear glasses, and my last check up I have the correct glasses for my eyes.

I am rather worried as there is a history of brain tumors in my family, but the doctors dont seem to listen to that - this is having a major affect on my life.

Any suggestions?

Kind Regards

Danielle Hazelwood
