Mikala, read my story sweetie. I use organic black seed oil. Saved me. Would write more, but I'm recovering from 3 gunshots to the chest. Be blessed. Tammy Dee

I agree with you, Tammy, Botox is a nasty chemical. I have macular degeneration and I was worried about Botex so close to my eyes. Not one migraine drug has worked for me, nor the nerve blocks. You will notice, every migraine medicine has a side effect of headache. That makes alot of sense!!! I am doing PT now trying to strengthen my neck/shoulder muscles. It seems to help for about 20 minutes and then the headache returns. Keep searching and good luck.

Hi! I can't say it did much for me and when I balanced out putting more drugs into my body against the minimal relief I was getting from the botox, I decided to stop. I was on botox for 3 years, 4 injections per year. I also got one cervical nerve block, which helped my neck for about a week, but I didn't want anymore of those either. I use something natural now that has almost eliminated my migraines. Rather than waking up with one every day, I may have 2 per month. My daith piercings did nothing either. Best of luck.

Be Blessed 🙏🏼
