If you suffer from chronic migraines, and an MD has either ruled out any serious or immediate threat to your health or can only prescribe medication to mask the symptom, it might actually be beneficial for you to see a chiropractor.
Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic deals with more than just "neck and back pain." Chiropractic is founded in the belief that the Central Nervous System (the brain, spinal cord, and nerves) controls EVERY bodily function. A misalignment of the vertebrae (what chiropractic calls a subluxation) can pinch the nerves running out between them, causing pain, numbness/tingling, or any type of general malfunction in that nerve's corresponding body part. The cells of our nervous system are CONSTANTLY communicating with the body, so it's important to make sure the nerves exiting out of the spine aren't being pinched or damaged (so the nerve signals can run undisturbed). I know you might think that the spine isn't important for headaches, but subluxations in the neck region are typical causes of headaches too!
I'm NOT saying that this will be a definite solution to your problem, but it might be something to consider. I used to work in a chiropractic office and saw how it helped SO many people with chronic sinus/migraine headaches (actually, after working in the office I decided to switch colleges so I could become a chiropractor!). Chiropractic is a safe, non-invasive healthcare option that doesn't rely on drugs or surgery that may have potentially unwanted side effects.
If you do decide to see a chiropractor, it would be in your best interest to ask family and friends for recommendations, visit a few offices and pick the doctor that you are most comfortable with. No matter what you decide to do (please consider it though), I sincerely hope that things improve for you.
I know that this was a poll for migraine sufferers, but I couldn't help sharing this information if it can possibly help you.

I had a migraine for 9 days straight after I received the vaccination to prevent Lyme's disease.

Yes I have had them for 40 years they have got more frequent as I have got older ,if I can take my tablets as soon as I get the visual disturbance they are not so bad but I still feel sick for 2-3 days. I did suffer an aura once and that was very scary I thought I had , had a stroke .

Three days where all I did was lay on the bathroom floor close to the toilet so I could vomit. You feel like your head is going to explode and you wish you could just die and get it over with.
