What else can I do for daily Atypical Migraine?(takinglyrica3xday,fioricet,skelaxin,cymbalta)?

my entire right side(fromhead to toes) hurts everyday.i have been to neurologists,rheumatologist,sleepclinic,painmanagement(who diag.as fibromyalgia,but it doesnt fit with my symptoms) now am losing strength in right arm and leg..it takes both hands to lift agallon.my son,now 14, has beenhaving migraine with similar symptoms i had at his age.(muscle cramping also) i am adopted and dont have bio.father med. history. could this be some kind of allergy or other neuro.conditionthat doesnt show on scans? Please help! I need relief..it is to the point that i dont think i can live withthis.i dont want my son to suffer through years of it as i have.

Chosen Answer:

Something is Not being seen or has been Missed by the Doctor! Make an appt. with another and have all of your Files Transferred to the New DR. for Reference. It is the loss of strength that makes me say this. Have you been Tested for Multiple Sclerosis? This is an Hereditary Condition that can show up at any age. My nephew has MS, but no one Knew until he was about 21. That is when the Symptoms started showing up. It was very similar to what you have described and was Misdiagnosed several times before we found out.
