Living in a Constant Migraine Episode

I am in the same boat. Very much still learning. I feel like the trial and error is going to make it worse before it's better. Basically for me, chasing down my migraines related to neck issues led to a fibromyalgia diagnosis. Then fibro treatments. Then discovering the connection between neck and shoulder fibro and cervicogenic headaches. Most recently I did physical therapy for my neck. I am mixed about it. It did help somewhat but also I have discovered that ANY strain on my neck, even very gentle physical therapy, and I am in a world of headache hurt for a very long time. It makes scared to try and strengthen my neck at all. So, basically, I am getting insight into the problem but not much or a solution to it yet.

That used to happen to me. Started meds and also started going to see an acupuncturist! It’s helped me a lot

I put an ice pack on the back of my neck and a heat pack on my hands. It helps a lot with neck pain related migraines

No I haven't tried that but my neurologist got me on two different kind of medicine for my migraine and it's not helping it getting worst it comes and goes but it can last for hours

No not yet but my dr wants me to try botox for it but im afraid bc I have a VP SHUNT

I also get something similar, however mine are more headaches. I just saw a new neurologist the other day and she said it was a big word I don't remember (lol), but basically a C headache I guess. It starts at the nerve in the back and makes its way up to the eyebrows. Not sure if that's what I have but the neck/shoulder pain definitely trigger me. Only things I've found to alleviate the pain somewhat are massages and ice. She did mention shots or physical therapy as treatment but I've already done those. Hope you can find something that works for you soon. 🙂
