Dealing with Chronic Migraines: Seeking Advice and Support

I had a migraine for about 2 months straight a few years ago. But I also have had chronic migraines since birth. I went to the hospital. A few times. I did a few tests. No medication they gave me worked. I just had to ride it out. The only thing that helps is sitting in a dark room.

Does appying cold help?

I have taken like every medication under the sun for migraine and things work for a while then stop working. Netec is what I have now but I only use it when I absolutely have to. Also you can only take every other day. I am also getting botox injection for them which where working for a while but not as much any more. I am also on Topamax but I'm 99% sure it's causing me vision issues.

so I’ve had chronic migraines for over four years now and had them off and on since I started my first period. they came full swing when I was getting diagnosed with endometriosis and then they ended up being rebound for three years. I don’t take excedrin as much anymore. I only take it less than 10 days a month and this is for all NSAIDS. I still get them everyday. sometimes I’ll wake up with one and they’ll go away usually. unless there’s a trigger and they get worse. mine have been getting bad again but when I go back to see a neurologist, I’m hoping to get put on something. it’s not fun having migraines daily. I’d see if you can get in to see a neurologist. they would be able to prescribe new medications. it’s a trial and error to see what works best for you. some migraine meds didn’t work for me and I stopped seeing my neuro because I didn’t like her 🙃 there’s also ice packs, heating pads, they have some gel cool wraps where it’s sticky and you put it on your forehead. I saw these patches they have for migraines too! I hope this helps 💓
