A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

On and off all day today and my cocktail of meds and oxygen treatments are just not working today and pollen is off the charts. I grin and bare it. So used to them, I do not let them control me. I carry on.

Has Anyone Had Any Experience With Occipital Blocks???
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor has been recommending the Occipital Block for my almost daily migraines as most of my migraines begin there. I had bad reaction to Botox, have tried many different preventatives and rescue meds and am tired of being a guinea pig - or feeling like one, anyway.
Any feedback??
