Thank you for all of your input, I will look into it, but as far as mentioning to my doctors I have done that and no real action has been done I'm so annoyed and if it weren't for the type of insurance I'd Leave my insurance is medicaid and Medicare very few selected doctors to choose from I've been on this for years with them. And been switched to several different medicating with the same side effects at this point I just don't know what to do🤷‍♀️

You are your best advocate and you need to get the doctors to listen to you. My insurance is Medicare only. Depending on my choices for care providers, I have been able change doctors. I know this is frustrating and you just want the pain to stop. Just like trying different medications, you may need to try different doctors.

Before your appointments, write out what is working and what is not. If they prescribe you a new medication, ask what type (class) of drug is it. Ask what the known side effects are. I can't tell you how many medications have "headache" as a side effect. If the doctors mention headache as a known side effect, ask the doctor if this is the right medication for you.

Drink lots of water. If we aren't properly hydrated, out brain gets dry and causes headaches (,think about someone who drank too much and woke up with a hangover. The alcohol aided in drying out the brain, causing the headache as a side effect.

Don't be afraid to speak up for yourself.

If possible, take someone you trust with you to your appointments. Other people have a tendency a hearing details we might miss.

Ask questions if there is something you don't understand.

If you have questions written down, you are more likely to ask them.

Reading your question, I can see quite a few places to start. Definitely discuss your history with your physician and review your meds with them as well. Several medications list headache as a known side effect. I have had to change a few medications to cut down on my episodes. Sinus and allergies are big triggers for me. Basically anything that changes the pressure in your head should be considered. To the best of my knowledge, I never had the hormones reaction, but having to move around frequently due to employment, every new doctor started there first and if you are peri-menopausal or menopausal I would definitely talk to your doctor to see if this could be a contributing factor for you. Also, you might want to Google "known migraine triggers" and see if anything on the list pops out at you. There are things on the list that you might not have ever considered. It's a long to-do list, but you could potentially weed a few sources out and sometimes it can make all the difference. Good luck 🫶
