Experiences with

Chronic migraine

Hi I have chronic migraine, very sensitive to all medications. Have been offered botox but quite scared as could cause more issues and fibromyalgia pain is through the roof. Have had a bad migraine for 4 days no medication anyone gotvany ideas or been through similar.

On the other hand, being triple-positive at high levels and with bad chronic migraine including stroke-like symptoms makes me feel that I am probably at high risk for a clotting event. I have already been taking low-dose aspirin for years because of higher stroke risk due to migraine with aura.

Hello, has anyone used the Cefaly device to prevent migraines / treat migraine episodes? Last month I experienced 14, so really want to try and find a way to manage them. Thank you! A bit of history: diagnosed with migraine (with aura) after having my daughter (previously had them when on the combined

For the last couple of years along with increased migraine frequency I have bouts of waking, hot, panicky from vivid dreams during the night and beginnings of migraine. Also a lot of facial flushing! 64 yr old female, chronic migraine sufferer.

Hi After countless years with chronic migraine and the failure of every intervention that I’ve had I have now been prescribed Flunarazine and then when it comes available the tablet form of Atogepant.

I’ve been cursed with fibromyalgia and chronic migraine. That makes me so depressed and anxious. I’ve lost my friends and I feel like I have no energy for this life anymore. So many years of battling a disease have left me completely burnt out.

I have suffered for 15years with migraine which is chronic now. I am due to have Botox injections into my head, I think 34 of them.. I am quite scared about having the treatment and apprehensive but I have read that it is quite successful for a lot of people.

This has happened before and after about 9 months I was back to being a chronic migraine sufferer before then going back on aimovig. My real worry is that she may refuse allowing me to having it prescribed again.

I am having physio, taking Nortriptyline (against my better judgement as I suffer chronic migraine and part of the reason I had surgery to be able to reduce the drugs!) and I need to give it time apparently. Only able to take paracetamol, heat blanket, tried a warm bath.

I have chronic migraine and struggling to access dental care as dentists are taking a deposit for appointments and when I miss the appointment due to migraine they claim it and request a new one on the next appointment booking. How are people managing this?

Has anyone got any advice on which type of magnesium supplement is best for chronic migraine with aura, the dose and when to take it? Read a few posts, but feel super confused by the options. Thank you!

Hi there, I have had chronic migraine for the last 13 years but have had them every single day for the last 2 years.

But can anyone understand the problem if your new life is daily chronic migraine, which after three years is unrelenting. The neurologist has just told me there’s likely to be no change. He also said they were likely to get worse as the brain shrinks as you get older. I’m late 50’s.

Looking for tips to deal with Nocturia related to my PD. Each night for the past several years, I have gotten up every hour on the hour to urinate. I make sure to get adequate hydration each day, but don't drink anything, other than to take meds, after dinnertime. I have orthostatic hypotension, so

As is normal for me I am late to think, "Sick day rules". Every bloody time. 12 days ago I stopped (stopped abruptly and without medical support) taking Paracetamol & Codeine. I've been taking it on and off for over 18 months and more recently 3 x per day every day. Have a swollen left ankle (always

My neurologist said this may be helpful for my chronic migraine. I have a good feeling about starting this medication as my Mum has used it in a different circumstance and she found it very succcesful. Looking for those who have tried Lamotrigine to treat migraine!!

I regularly self inject B12 and have found that once a month seems to work well for me. However, I had my injection just over a week ago, I normally feel absolutely fine on this, however 2 days later I felt hyper, the next day I felt extremely tired, then I had 3 days of feeling normal, and then yesterday

I fell and broke my elbow rather badly on Monday and had surgery yesterday with a nerveblock to put a wire cage in. The pain is beyond anything I've experienced before and I have had a few operations in my time. So here I am at 4.45 not knowing what to do with myself.... I just wondered as I can't take

Last week Liz Kendal said that from November 2026 anyone who doesn't score 4 points in at least one of the daily living activities will lose their PIP. I took that to mean that anyone who currently gets the PIP daily living component because they scored 8 points of more, but didn't get a single 4 point
