Suggest Treatment For Chronic Migraine

I am wondering if I am having symptoms of something more than muscle strain or kinked neck. I woke up about 6 weeks ago with a severe pain in the right, backside of my neck. Since then I have also experienced an increase in headaches as well as my chronic migraines. The headaches can vary in their intensity from a 1 to a 10 and back to a 3 or 4 on the pain scale all within an hour sometimes. I have been dealing with work and family stress (as all working mothers do I assume). During the past 2-3 weeks I seem to be encountering periods of exhaustion or fatigue with my symptoms as well. This usually happens when a headache is spiking on the pain scale. I have been seeing a chiropractor and using my migraine medicine. I have tried applying heat. I have tried essential oils. I am getting some relief from all of these, but I am still dealing with this for several weeks now. What else do you suggest? Thank you

Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could by caused by chronic daily headache, which is commonly associated to migraine headaches.
I would like to know your actual therapy for migraine, in order to give a more professional opinion on the optimal treatment options.
An antidepressant (amytriptiline) could help improve your situation (reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
