I Suffer With Severe Migrains. The Past Couple Of Months

I suffer with severe migrains. The past couple of months it feels like my head is boiling. I keep a cold towel on my head and face all night just for some relief and ice pack. Unfortunately it warms and melts away in no time yet I have no fever. My ears and eyes hurt and throb. Feels like needles going out my eyes. My balance is off. Have more difficulty with focus, memory, can't sleep. I have severe pain down the back of my thighs that I use icy hot on. By the end of the day I can barely walk the pain is so intence. It's crippling my life. I'm 42, 140 lbs and 5'5. I work as a nurses aid in a skilled unit. Life has been increasing stress wise with all of this. I do have nerve damage in my back and legs. Arthritis, tmj, and had a large heavy cast iron pipe come down on the top of my head a few years ago and knock me out. All I've been told by a nurse is I may be experiencing pretty menopause. So I've taken evening primrose oil and don't feel a difference. I have take tramadol for the migrains and it made me sick etc. I've gone to the hospital and they gave me zofran, tornado and percicett. I don't like how any make me feel. I believe all drugs just coat over the pain and are not fixing the real problem. I'm at the point I can't live this way anymore. I'm desperate for answers before this gets any worse. The pain is to intence for me to go on. I'd appreciate advise that could lead to success. I'm on a wait list for a few months to see a neorologist and endocrinologist. (I've have 3 fine thyroid needle byopsies in the past. Cyst was of size to cause swollowing and breathing). Blood tests on thyroid recently came back normal. Thank you so much
