Are there any other symptoms? Aversion to light? Nausea? I really feel bad for you, but I really can't help. I've had a headache with eye pain for 2 years. That eye pain really is terrible. All I get out of my drs is that they are migraines. (i don't believe them) migraines shouldn't last this long, in my opinion. I too get fed up with the pain. Sometimes you feel like you can't take it anymore. Constant pain for as long as we have to deal with is terrible and drs don't seem to understand. It has taken me until today, 2 years! , to find a primary care doc who actually listened to me. It seemed like he really cared. Good luck to you and keep pushing for answers! -jen

Stich,
if you are having migraines, oxycontin is not the medication to take the pain away. I personally only know of zomig and it is a wonder drug for me. Has your doctor referred you to a neurologist? Have you had an mri? I would highly suggest that you either get a referral, or fight the doc and insurance to get a referral, or just go on your own if your doctor won't give you a referral.

To try and relieve the pain for now, try ice and/or heat. Otc exedrin migraine is good. There are also some otc and doctor prescribed migraine patches (lidocaine?) that you can put on your forehead for a few hours. They have helped me but just a little bit. Research what rebound headaches and see if you follow the pattern. You might want to do some research and find out what foods are triggers for migraines and stay away from them and watch your caffeine intake until your doctor can help you.

I hope this is of some sort of help.
God bless...

My wife amy used to suffer from migraine headaches as well. General chiropractic care did not help them. They actually increased in frequency over a two year period of time to 6 migraines every 2 weeks. She found relief with a rare gentle procedure called nucca. The doctor that helped her is in atlanta, ga. She went 13 months without a mirgraine while under nucca care. She had a mirgraine after 13 months of relief and received a nucca treatment by me, her then fiance, and it has been almost 3 years since her last attack.

god bless you,

I used to drench my head in cool water and lay down. Only suggestion except some kind of migraine medications.
