I'm sorry that you have to live with migraines; that is a miserable life without adding other problems. I can relate somewhat to your migraines. For at least 10 years I had sinus infections and migraines almost constantly. I even had 2 sinus surgeries, but I continued to have migraines. I finally went to a Headache Clinic and had some special tests done to try to find out what was going on and what meds might work best for me. After a few years, some lifestyle changes and several changes in meds, my migraines are finally under control - most of the time. I probably have maybe 1 each week, on average. I still have episodes where I have migraines for 4-7 days, but thankfully that is not often.

I know you stated that you have a rare migraine disease that causes these migraines, so you are probably already aware of this. (I'm posting this info, because I was totally unaware of it during my "migraine years.") I found (with my doctor's help) that certain additives in foods (MSG, nitrates, nitrites), certain foods (varies for different people - but bananas is one of my biggest migraine triggers), certain odors/scents, and weather were some of my migraine triggers. I finally got the migraines under control with meds (Wellbutrin is what works for me best.), and avoiding as many triggers as possible.

I hope you can get at least some of your pains under control before long.
