Folks On SSRIs Prone To Serotonin Syndrome - What Options Do We Have? I’m So Tired Of Treatments I Can’t Have.
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Other than antispasmodics, anyway. I’m already on that as a preventative. But I can’t have anything that would interfere with an SSRI again, since we’ve played that game and thankfully did not die. :) Can’t replace the SSRI, spent years trying every other solution and I’m either unresponsive or a bad candidate for treatment because other conditions. :)

I'm Looking For Advise On Tinted Migraine Glasses
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Has anyone used glasses tinted to block blue/green light? My photo sensitivity seems to be getting worse. I were glasses and have prescription sunglasses, but I find it a hassle going form one pair to another and don't like being inside with the sunglasses on.

What Is Everyone's Opinions On Botox Injections And Chiropractic Care?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question đź’­

According to my neuro, I don't have any other medical treatment options available due to the type of migraine I have and the medications that have already failed in the past. I have been seeing a chiropractor for a month and still haven't seen any relief. Botox is something that has been on my radar for quite some time, but it was a treatment option I haven't wanted to pursue for several reasons. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

What Are The Treatments For New Daily Persistent Headaches. The Description Of Them Is Far More Like What Happened To Me. How Is It Treated
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I started having migraines about 10 years ago but when I left my husband they suddenly stopped and only came back about 9 months later when I was going through another stressful situation and since then they are constant. Every single day all day long especially when I lay down.

Has Anyone Had Worsening Migraines For The First Week After Aimovig Inj. Before Feeling Better?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Every month when I take my Aimovig inj for the first week it seems that I have terrible migraines and then I'm better. Anyone else!? And yes... barometric/environmental systems reek havoc on my headaches also. When
weather is nice, not too hot, not too humid, just right I feel pretty good. But I also can tell way beforehand when rain is coming, or heat w/humidity,etc. too cold 🥶❄️, etc. I have Fibromyalgia too. The two seem to go hand in hand unfortunately!
