Dealing with Chronic Migraines: Any Tips?

Missa526

I have had a level 9 migraine since Sunday. it's killing me. I've been in pain or taking medical marijuana to sleep since then. today it seems to be down to a 7. I'm on Fiorinol but I don't get many a month so I've saved up my last 2 for today. I woke up around 1:25am and haven't been able to go back to sleep. What do you do to deal with excruciating chronic migraines, I'm also taking Aimovig 140mg. I get the worst migraines from unexpected stress and weather

      @JackieSue I use medical marijuana, CBD, I did botox for a long time which helped the most but I started having severe muscle weakness in my neck so now I'm on Aimovig 140mg a month. I had a stroke so I can't take any of the typical migraine meds.but I will look into the nerve block and trigger point injections. Thank you so much !

      Hi, I use Maxalt for a rescue migraine medicine. The kind that dissolves under my tongue. I am on Amovig too!
