Has Anyone Tried The Migraine Infusions?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have had migraines for 10 years. Getting worse 15-20 a month. I have tried Botox, Aimovig, emgality, imitrex, topomax, naratriptan, depeco. Nothing works more than a month. I have been hospitalized several xs because cocktail they give at ER does not work. They gave me DHE infusions thru a central line. One every 8 hours for 4 days. It’s a very strong drug w a lot of side effects. The infusions they are talking about are once every 3 months thru IV. Has anyone tried them?

For Those Who Suffer Daily Migraines Like Myself, Are You Being Given Any Every Day Medications For Acute Or Preventative, What Are They?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I ask because I know some doctors and insurance companies put a limit on the number so that daily use is not possible although it would benefit for many with daily migraine.

Is There Hope?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with chronic migraines about 2 and a half months ago. I have tried 4 different preventives and 4 different onsets. Nothing is working for me. I might have to quit my job soon as all I can do most days is lay in bed. I finally saw a neurologist and am now on trazadone which is supposed to help with the depression/sleep and also work as a preventative. And he gave me ubrevely for an onset. I am starting to feel hopeless and everyday I wake up exhausted and defeated. When will

Hi Meagan, I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I agree with Eve and Ed. I was on 150mg of Botox, every 3 months, for a long time, until the CGRP inhibitors became available. I worked on that… read more

Some people have luck with gabapentin; personally, I hate the way it makes me feel. I have had some success with Botox, CGRPs (e.g. Emgality), and with a Cefaly, which is a neuro-stimulator, and THC… read more

How Much Does The Weather Play A Role With Your Migraine
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I can't believe how much better I feel now that the temperature has dropped. There also does not seem to be the big fluctuations in the temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. The thing that is still messing with my head is precipitation. I know the day before it's going to rain, then it rains and then it takes a day to feel better. That's three days out of my life. Weather migraines are really bad, anybody else have them? In sure lots of us do. Anyone know how to avoid or cope… read more

No to the neckbrace but yes to the pain. I actually asked hubby to learn to "stretch" my neck with massage movements. It eases tension in the neck and allows it to stretch like the rest of the body… read more

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone tried the green color therapy glasses or the rose tinted color for migraines? Which color do you think is better for migraines? A neurologist online recommended the green color therapy glasses for migraines.

The rose tinted glasses are gnerally speaking for indoor use only where there are a lot of florescent lighting. I have a pair of MIGRALENS and they filter out both the blue and the red spectrum, and… read more

Try light physical therapy stretches. Just go slowly on increasing tension or weight... Start super light
