Chronic migraine sufferer, was managing fine since being diagnosed back in 2014 after prescribed toprimate. Diagnosed after having meningitis, though not conclusively linked but consultant said because not had any previous record of migraines it was 'his opinion' highly likely a link.
Fast forward to november 2017 and VM and this knocked me understandably for six. Toprimate increased to maximum dosage as increase in migraines.
September 2018 migraines at best 4 days out of 7 in week whilst on maximum dosage of toprimate - propanolol tried alongside- extremely ill - vomitting- etc
November - present pitofitzen- same effects as above taken at night as zonks out.
Migraines I would say have reduced by a couple in a week but overall not much different than before if I was really honest.
Been back to Dr and he has referred to consultant again.
In a nutshell, the preventative betablockers all seem to make me sick, dizzy and or very very tired.
Any advice
Hi can you qualify for Botox? I’m in beta blockers too but now don’t feel the fatigue anymore after three years or so but first six months or more was exhausted indeed. Also what about the new calcium peptides out of Europe?
BOTOX could be an option, depends what the consultant says. When I was ill back in 2014, after being in intensive care (lucky to be alive to be honest) I was left with chronic migraines hence the toprimate.
I also have been left it would seem to be intolerant now to a wide range if medication. I have never been able to take anti biotics.
I like in the UK so a lot of drugs available are not permitted here that are allowed elsewhere.
I am hoping that there will be options.
Please please please try and push for botox, i have Hemiplegic Migraines and it completely saved my life. Good luck
