Hi all I am new here. Just found the group today. I have been dealing with chronic migraines since childhood. Then in 2007 I had an accidental spinal tap during labor and delivery of my child. Since then they have gotten much worse. I have a migraine for days on end and nothing helps. I have tried every med my doctors can think and barely get any relief if any. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance

Botox is the only thing that has had a positive impact on my migraines. Haven't been able to have it for about a year and I half bc of pregnancy and breastfeeding so they particularly bad at the moment but will be getting it in 3 months and looking forward to It!

I've just reread my really badly written message (sorry about that). Yes I think I've tried over 13 different drugs and have had GON injections and anaesthetic injections, TENs machine, Cefaly device nothing worked. I normally have migraines between 15 and 20 days a month Botox halved it. You have to try at least 2 sessions to know if it will work, it made me worse the first time but I'm really glad I kept going.

Not what you're looking for?
