I've been getting hemiplegic migraines on and off for the last 2-3 months and the general migraines ive been getting are seemingly getting worse depite being upped to 50mg of Amitriptyline...

I asked about getting an official Fibro diagnosis and the dr said if i had a rheumatology review in 6 months i can wait for that one- but i can't!

The aches and pains, the brain fog and the migraines are getting so bad because i'm trying to work and it's getting worse because of the stress..!

I really don't know what to do anymore sad 

Feel like giving up!

    Are you able to see another dr at your paractice. if not go back to your gp and just tell them straight you cannot take any more and you cant wait 6 months to see the rheumatologist if you can break down in front of them, seems like its the only way to get any where with these flaming drsrolleyes. if  possible take some one in with you to back you up on how bad you are. when we are stressed worried it makes our condition 10x worse. dont loose heart weve all been their fight thats what weve all done to get any where.. take care gentle hugs x

    THat medication effected me with horrible migraines. I hope you can stop them to sort out if it's he meds or something else.

    foods other meds and stress can amuse hem as well. there ae also meds for migraines that work very well if it's not from the meds you are on. 

    Check with your doctor.
