I recently started going to the Michigan Head Pain and Neurological Institute, where I have been treated with great respect and support. They kept the good (Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia), but tossed the other, half-hearted levels/combinations of medication I've been on - I've gone from 5+ migraines per week with aura, and aura in between, to 2, with only the minor spark, here and there. I, too have some evidence of Migraine, and age, in my brain scans, which the MHBND doctor fully explained, and reassured me about. Their thoughts are that pain begets more pain, and that "toughing it out," for work, performances, etc., is a dangerous way to go, that it is far better to ramp up to excellent prevention, and then the correct acute treatment, so that you can function, usually in concert (pun intended) with your schedule. Insurance coverage was an issue for me, but this group found a physician among them that participated in my plan, luckily. Perhaps you can find a similar group near you, or come to the MHPI for evaluation, yourself. Many patients come, then stay for inpatient stays to readjust their medications and get their status resolved. I am going to sign off to check out your music now.
