Brain Tumors/symptoms

Question
Im 32 and been having very bad migrains since the year 2000
I have had 2 mri's and several cat scans but nothing was found. They have gotten worse and know im vomiting and feel sick if not treated with mediacation fast. Lately both sides of my head have been sore for several days and makes me restless. I do have sleeping problems I practically pass out by the end of the day and sometimes have insomnia. I have very little energy.

Answer
If your CT & MRI scans are negative and you have had these symptoms since 2000 you do NOT have a brain tumor. I therefore suggest that you direct your question to an expert of neurology (I'm an expert of medical oncology & radiation therapy with experience of treating brain tumors) since this is probably a case of severe migraine and therefore outside my area of expertise.
