Does anyone else here get sever migraines lasting over a week? I’ve been dealing with migraines for 15 years but over the last two I get some that last a couple of weeks. No medicine has ever helped them. I have had ct scans mris and specific eye tests that are all normal. The pain gets unbearable and I have yet to talk to someone that can relate.

I use Coenzyme Q10, 200-250mg once daily for migraine prevention. I used to get a migraine every 3-5 days, now once a month and it only lasts for one day. I found this useful.

Hello. Do Any Of You Experience Teeth Pain?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question đź’­

There is nothing wrong dentally. The pain is accompanied by debilitating headaches on the left of my head. I’ve had MRIs and CT scans of my head and nothing is wrong. My sinuses are clear.
I am assuming that this is another symptom of the Fibro.

I lost count of how many MRIs I’ve had. If you are claustrophobic at all, let them know ahead of time. You can request something to help calm you down.
