I have read comments about migraine scales being different for everyone. I agree with that. Which left me wondering, with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest, pain level and incapacitation. What do you consider a “average” or tolerable number on the scale? For me, at 1-3 I feel like I could throw a party, in my head😉. 3-4 is normal tolerable, allowing me to still function. 5-6 I feel anxious, cautious and usually take medication. 7-8 I’m seeking dark, quiet and bring nausea medication on… read more

I’m having trouble getting my insurance to cover Emgality and my neuro says that Aimovig might be easier to get through for some reason. However, I’m rather concerned about the severe constipation side effect that has caused some patients to need surgery as that has been an issue I’ve had my whole life. How have you guys combatted that side effect? Any info you think would be useful would be much appreciated! TIA! 😊
Many of the treatments for migraine cause constipation. My neurologist prescribed magnesium for it. It's a big help!
I need help to deal with my condition.I don't mean with medicines,I mean how to deal with it emotionally and how to cope with it everyday.Do you see therapists,councillors,have treatments,go to group meetings?I need to find a way of managing my feelings of anger,depression,loneliness etc in a healthy way.I can't go on like this where I'll end up bringing everyone down with me.
I do not know if you saw what I wrote. It is a possibility for anyone reading this that it could happen to you. I had read about red dye #40 being made from petroleum oil only! In 2012, I quit eating… read more
I have heard a lot of the daith piercing. I was wondering if anyone has done it. Did it work for you? How long did it take before it work? Need pro and con's about this kind of piercing before I do it.
My cousin did and it hasn't helped her's so i haven't done it.
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.
I get anywhere from 14-19 migraines or headaches a month. I have FMLA through my job, my doctor gives me 2 days a month with each episode lasting up to 3 days each. If I'm not taking a day off, and I push through it going to medical doesn't feel like an option for me. I can only stay in there for 45 minutes. It's hard to deal sometimes.
I just had to take 33 hours of leave without pay. I am a single mother of 3 and I truly can't afford this.
