As hard as migraines can control your life the best thing I can suggest is to continue to research treatment options as well as current research on how migraines affect others.
Grinding Teeth
Is anyone else grinding their teeth? My bottom teeth hurt so bad from the grinding and my jaw is so sore. I am doing this during the day and not at night. I am taking Alprazolam ER 0.5mg 4 times a day. Helps some days more than others. I do 70g of Amovig and Botox injections.

I Have Migraines Almost Daily - Cluster, Ocular & Basic Migraine. Doctor Thinks It Is Rebound Headaches. How Do I Know The Difference?
I have had migraines since I was 5 years old. My Mom always thought they were sinus headaches. They are mostly on the right side. If I get one on the left, it will last a few days, then move to the right. We moved and current doctor just does not get it.
Barometric Pressure....how Does It Affect You And Is There Anything You Can Do To Avoid Them?
My migraines are definitely triggered by the barometric pressure going down. It doesn't seem to bother me when it rises.

Used to love the Chinooks over the mountains as it brings warmer weather but now that I have migraines, I dread them.

Triptan Overuse Rebound Headaches
What do you guys know about triptan overuse headaches?
I just learned of them from a nurse at my neurologist’s office. This had never been mentioned before by my neurologist and he prescribes me 30 rizatriptans per month and 7 frovatriptans per month, which covers my 20 migraines (if they decide to work). However, I had no idea that by taking the prescribed medication as directed, I could actually be causing more migraines. But if I don’t take them, I’m in excruciating pain and am… read more

Who Experiences Auras Before Migraines Sometimes?
I have always had some visual disturbance with and preceding a migraine. However it is rarer that I have a super aura. The first time I had one, I woke to the certainty of police and emergency vehicles outside our window. The red lights were flashing all around my room. I got out of bed to look out the window, there was nothing. Yet the red flashing continued for a few minutes. Followed by a migraine the first time, but not every time. Sometimes it looks more like moving grayish flying shadows… read more
