Intractable Migraines- Any Ideas On How To Stop Them?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I get lots of intractable migraines that last longer that 48-72 hours & don't respond to standard treatment (also called status migrainosus). I would love to know if any of you have ideas on how to treat them?

To complicate things further I can't take ergots or triptans because of severe side effects to these medications in the past.

Suggestions/advice On Different BC Solutions For Sufferers Of Migraine With Hormone Sensitivity?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

Ever since I got the copper IUD (paraguard) I've noticed my acne has became significantly worse, takes longer to heal, and creates worse/more scarring. I had not taken any birth control for 3-4 years before I got the IUD. My skin used to be normal, even through pregnancy and after. My doctor thinks taking something hormonal will worsen my migraines. But I'm wondering now if it would just be worth it in the end anyway, and maybe just treat the worsening migraines if my body doesn't get used to it… read more

Barometric Pressure....how Does It Affect You And Is There Anything You Can Do To Avoid Them?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

My migraines are definitely triggered by the barometric pressure going down. It doesn't seem to bother me when it rises. I live in the Calgary, Alberta, Canada region and we have the worst BP changes in the country. Used to love the Chinooks over the mountains as it brings warmer weather but now that I have migraines, I dread them.

Botox
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I received my first Botox treatment yesterday. My neurologist told me that it could take two weeks to take effect. Today I've had some fairly strong pain spikes and visual disturbances, but no constant throbbing. I'm wondering about other people's experiences.
