Just wondering if your Dr's are willing to give you larger doses of pain medication or a different medication that you might be able to use that works better.

I am on the Duragesic Fentynal patches & they have worked like a miracle for me.......once they finally prescribed a high enough dose that keeps the migraine pain away (continual migraine pain....not just migraine headaches). No pills to take, no break through.....just constant pain relief for the 72 hours then patch change & another 72 hours....continual coverage without having to worry about it wearing off & taking pills, but know there are many who can't use fentynal....just wondering if that high level of pain medication might not really help you if you are able to use the fentynal.

Thinking of you & knowing how horrible it is to have continual pain.
