What To Do On Bad Days

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Omaha, NE

I have somewhat determined what is causing these migraines to be so bad just not sure what to do in the mean time. I am due for Botox and Ajovy to take place within days of one another. On top of that there is the weather factor of the barometer changes, heat, and humidity. I am doing my very best to manage through just not sure what else I can do. If anyone has suggestions please do share, thank you.

I haven't been able to sleep for a week because both Botox injections and Ajovy monthly injection have literally worn out of the system. I am scheduled to take next dosage of both and this constant migraine is making me aware on the matter.

I have been able to make the attempt at getting through this long stretch of migraines by staying hydrated with bottled water, remaining in a dark room, and sipping black coffee as I have been following a special guideline by pain specialist when things get to this extreme. As of right now, my entire head is feeling like it is in a vice grip but the good thing about it is the coffee my husband brought me this morning has been enough to numb things down from level 10 to level eight.
