“Do you ever have a healthy period that leaves you wondering if your life with migraine might have become a thing of the past, or at least a rarely-occurring phenomenon?”

I’ve learned that is a sign the healthy period is coming to an end.

How long does a person have to suffer from all of this, the pain, the sensitivity to light and sound and smell, the constant ache in the body and everything else before a neurologist will realize that prevents and rescues are not working? Otc’s aren’t working. I live life in daily pain. I have other disorders and mental health issues , PTSD being…

Anytime I have a period of time that I am migraine free I think – Maybe they won’t come back! I even start to think – Maybe they weren’t as bad as you remember them to be, maybe you were over-reacting… Then migraine comes back as if to prove to me – Oh, I am as bad as you remember and no, you were not over-reacting!
Once I went an entire 2 w…

How do I know which migraines to take Imitrex since the limit is 12. I have chronic migraines. Originally, I was told to take the moment it starts. So how do I know when to take it?

I’ve chronic migraine with multiple types and aura that won’t go away anymore. Haven’t had a full sense of touch in my right arm and half my face since March I think.

It depends on type. But it’s a long list. From light visual disturbances to half my vision going away. Light and sound sensitivity. Cognitive problems from slight confusion and…

Hey,

So I just got diagnosed with the same thing. At first my doc thought it was Trigeminal Neuralgia but my Neuro is sure it’s chronic migraine. I’ve been in constant level 8 pain for about 5 solid months now and it hasn’t stopped. The summer heat wave was extemely difficult to deal with but being on Topiramate (up to 100mg 3x a day) has made…

I was wondering which Strain and Distributor helped the best?

Fentanyl, as prescribed by a doctor, is pretty safe. The problem is that people are using both fentanyl and its derivatives to cut heroin, which results in overdoses.
Like any opiate, used right it works (they gave me shots of it while I was in labor- I’d been on pitocin for 5 hours before anyone told me I could have an epidural or pain control;…

Thank you! I have been taken off my opiates (the only thing that helps) to do a trial of Aimovig. After 30 years of pain, I know MOH too, and frankly I don’t care- I’m in pain anyway!
Even doctors don’t believe me, and I’m so very tired of it.
