So sorry you are so low. I am presuming all the usual medications don't work for you! Have you been offered Botox? X

Botox? As in facial Botox?

Yes. I will be having my 2nd round of Botox next week and can't wait!

The effect has now worn off after 4 months. There should have been about 3 months between but my neurologist has been on annual leave. I had about 80% success with the injections and it has meant I could drastically reduce the amount of triptans I was taking. X

Daith piercing is the only thing that helped me after accupunture,botox,oxygen,and at least 75 kinds of pills. The triptons (there's about 10 of them)like rizotripton will stop a headache but not prevent them.

Same as Larry. The daith piercing has helped me. Certainly worth a try. Good luck

if your migraine is on one side try just that side first,mine were in the middle so I had both done right away-took 8 days to work, but it was worth the wait.

Not what you're looking for?
