I have tried every treatment available including 6 blood patches in my spine, 4 spinal taps, Botox, every migraine medicine available, infusions, nerve blocks. On and on and on.
My doctor told me that people who have headaches for decades take years to respond to these new anti-CGRPs, and suggested that I promised to try them for at least 2 years before I made a judgement. I… read more
