I feel for you, i suffered from migrains for over 40 years, until i was put on propanolol. i think that is what helped my headaches, havn't had a full blown on in over 2 years now. The reaoson i was put on it was because i kept going to the emergency room for imetrix which took the headaches away for awhile in one day, but the doctor said this time he would try propanolol because studies showed it takes migrains away. Boy was he ever right in my case, i feel alot better now after my primary doc also prescribed one a day for me too.
