Dealing with Chronic Migraines: Seeking Advice

Ive been dealing with migraines ever since i was young snd they have been getting worse. I havent found the cause of them yet and have been on beta blockers and preventative medication which have not worked and take sumatriptan during bad migraines which also doesnt not work. I have a very bad fear of veins and anything that is intravenous so i havent been able to get my blood drawn to test for anything. Is anybody else in this situation? My doctor says my current medication is the last resort for my age but it still isnt working.

Sumatriptan never worked for me either I’m on meds now that still do nothing. I’ve had migraines since I was six and no dr ever thought to try me on anything other that sumatriptan. I didn’t know how long it was supposed to take to take effect so I was actually unmedicated and sleeping off my migraines cuz it never worked
