It first started with my vision when I was driving home from work in mid January 2023. And then early February I woke up one day with excruciating headache and eye pain blurry vision nausea dizziness and stabbing ear pain and ringing in my ears. And it’s been going on ever since. I went to see a neurologist and she diagnosed me with vertigo anxiety and migraine. She prescribed venlafaxine, which I didn’t take.

Are you okay now?
Not considering it do to bad side effects and too many injections
I began with the Sumatriptan injections years ago. Then switched to the pills. The effect was full body and left my limbs feeling achy and heavy. I prefer the nasal mist delivery method. However I have found that the migraine will often leave one side of the head, only to appear on the other within a hour or so.

Every month when I take my Aimovig inj for the first week it seems that I have terrible migraines and then I'm better. Anyone else!? And yes... barometric/environmental systems reek havoc on my headaches also. When
weather is nice, not too hot, not too humid, just right I feel pretty good. But I also can tell way beforehand when rain is coming, or heat w/humidity,etc. too cold 🥶❄️, etc. I have Fibromyalgia too. The two seem to go hand in hand unfortunately!
My doctor has me doing Botox and I've only been to the ER once a month or less since I started... sounds like a lot but it's not for me when it was once or twice a week
Thank you for answering my message. My husband agrees with you and I think you are right. I know you know how desperate you can get. Do you know the American Migraine Foundation? I was on their site… read more

I use a Sumatran injection. It is the only thing that works for me right now. I also have gastroparesis, but didn't have any luck with the nasal spray.
