Status Migraine Issues
My name is Jen and I have suffered with migraines for 25 years. In the past few years they have gotten considerably worse. I end up with a status migraine every year now that is hard to break. This year I haven't been able to break it. It's been 4 months. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I take Zonegran daily, Emgality monthly, nerve blocks every 4 weeks, Botox every 12 weeks. I also have Frova, Nurtec, Torodol, Phenergan, Zofran and Compazine. I have used the infusion clinic for⦠read more
I too have nonstop migraines now since 2007 or so. I finally decided to learn to accept this is my lot in life. I haven't given up. I'm currently taking botox, Aimovig and sumatriptan, plus I do Promethazine, CBD oil and T-Relief as my daily attack against it. But by accepting it, I am much calmer. I used the PainTrainer.org methods to distract myself from the pain. I use relaxation and mindful meditation on bad days to give me rest. But now I intentionally focus on little things that make me smile like the color blue, my dog, my flowers, cup of tea or coffee. I call this mindful appreciation and it allows me to be happy inspite of the pain. I figure the migraines aren't ever going to go away for good, so I need to learn to find joy within this life of pain. Check out PainTrainer.org to learn methods of dealing with and living with pain.

Hello! Thank you for sharing your experience, and sharing the website. CKay
I have tried medical cannabis with mixed results. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not. It can be hard to use unless I get the timing right as I have a toddler and don't want to put everything on my hubby.
I Get 4-6 Migraines Per Month. They Start Suddenly - Confusion/numbness. Has Anyone Tried Qulipta For Prevention And Ubrelvy For Treatment?
