Hey Kristi! My history with migraines have been pretty intense. A few years ago I found out that I have lesions in my brain from migraines. I have tried a lot of medicines that haven’t worked. Currently I am Trokendi xr 200 mg for preventive migranes. I have started Botox in January for my migraine and that really helps ! I used to have to take Ubervly, however that stopped working . I would get migraine everyday for months last year, which was really scary . They would cause auros . Medicines at that point felt like a hole was burning through my stomach . My jaw would shake; I couldn’t do much . What have you done that’s been helpful ? Are you looking to try something else ?

Well, girls, I’m here to tell you I have definitely tried EVERYTHING! I’ve even been a patient at the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago Illinois. Tried ALL those drugs you are mentioning TRIED everything. But there is a saving grace for me at least. I found a doctor that does NasoSphenoidGanglionBlocks in my nose. You will probably need to look it up. It’s more than I can explain. These blocks in my nose, help me 95% and if you’re a chronic migraines like me, 95% is awesome treatment! Look it up and if you don’t understand it, send me a text back at 731-307-1184. Be glad to talk to you about it
