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.

That's good news! So far, Verapamil has been working for me. But I will definitely keep your regimen in mind if I get less than satisfactory results from Verapamil.

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Souderton, PA

How could this be? My last attempt for relief was neck surgery 4 weeks ago. Neck great; headache worse. I just don't know what else to do. 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.

A MyMigraineTeam Member

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
