Unless you're actually diagnosed with a cause for the migraines, you will have a very hard time getting anywhere in terms of getting a medicinal card. MS, epilepsy, glaucoma, Hep. C., things like that..

Usually it needs to be "chronic" pain (mind the pun) in order to get considered for a medicinal card.

Bob.
Just wondering...have you ever had migraines? Most migraines do not have a known cause, "migraine" is the diagnosis you get when you have headaches and no obvious reason why. They also fit the definition of "chronic pain" exactly. According to the dictionary - Chronic: continuing a long time or recurring frequently. I get multiple headaches a week...that's pretty chronic.

As for the severity of them, no, mine aren't that bad usually, but the doctor doesn't know that. (and on occasion they ARE excruciatingly painfull) I emailed a local MM clinic about this and they said migraines could qualify me, but clearly they didn't want to speak anymore until I pay them.
BigBlock Reviewed by BigBlock on . Will I qualify for a card? I live in OR, and I've been thinking about trying to get a medical card. I've been searching google trying to find detailed qualifications for the card in OR, but all I can find is "severe pain". I get migraines ocassionally, and have a prescription for it already. Do migraines fall into the severe pain category? My current prescription works just fine, and I don't get them that often. Will they only give it to severe cases where normal drugs don't work...or do I have a chance? (without lying) Rating: 5
