Well, happy birthday soon to be! I can't remember, how long have you lived with migraines? Seems like there's more to your story... do you have comorbidity? Seems like you do. Whenever there's multiple illnesses it makes the puzzle so much harder to figure out. Have you had a head injury by any chance? Finding a neurological Optometrist made such a difference in my life! What all medication have you tried? If I remember correctly, seems like you couldn't access Migraine Buddy app. Man, that really helped me pinpoint my reaction to barometric pressure changes, but there's also Weather X app too and it allows you to pay attention to barometric pressure too.

Nope! You try to manage them.

It all sounds hopeless, but some people do "get over" migraines. Unfortunately, the longer you have migraine the closer you get to chronic. I've had migraines for 63 years, soon to be 64 come November. They went fron 3 or 4 a year, to 3 or 4 a month, then 3 or 4 per week, then daily (since some time around 2008). When I started fainting from them, I lost my job of 22 years. It was the best thing that could have happened. I was near retirement age so the government didn't fight me on my SSDI. For the first time in my working life, I was able to take care of me! Triptans were not workibg anymore. Finally we were able to get me on Aimovig for free through the Amgen Safety Net Foundation, so Medicare OK'd botox, and Nurtec samples became my rescue med. These 3 medical approaches, plus my binasal occlusion glasses, cut my migraines in half. Some would complain that 10-15 migraines a month is horrible, but it sure beats every day!! I got half my life back! I still live with a daily headache at a low level 4, but I rarely even notice it. Now I'm off Aimovig as an experiment and I seem to be doing OK. I still get botox and use Nurtec. My best advice to anyone newer to migraines than the 1960s, is try everything that's available to you and don't stop trying until you find the magic mixture. Yes, it may mean you have to fight to get approval from the insurance companies... so fight! It took me 2 years to get Aimovig, and another 6 months after that to get botox. Every other year I have to requalify for botox, and I've never been approved for Nurtec. Wait, that's a lie, sorry. I'm approved, but after Medicare pays their part, it's $540.00 for 8 pills. I can't afford that on Social security. So don't give up hope. They claim that some women improve after menopause, but that wasn't my case because I went through menopause at age 33. No chane in migraines. Actually, they got worse.

I used to have cluster migraines where I could be migraine free for 2 or 3 years then all of a sudden I would have a migraine every day for months on end. I am now having them almost daily.
