Pounding in temples
I have been diagnosed with migraines. I'm currently on Nurtec and just had my first Botox treatment in June. My issue is I'm getting pounding pain in my temples along with blurry vision. Tired of not getting answers or relief. Anyone else get this?
Hi. Welcome to the community. I'm sorry that you find yourself dealing with migraine. It's not easy. How long ago were you diagnosed? Have you seen any improvement from the Botox and Nurtec so far? I have seen from others here that Botox can take several cycles (a few months) before you begin to see results.
It's important to know that each person with migraine is unique, both in their triggers and in what helps them. It can take a lot of trial and error to find the best tools for you, so don't lose hope. There are hundreds of possible remedies, from prescription drugs to supplements, wearable devices, alternative therapies, lifestyle and diet changes to name a few.
Are you happy with your doctor so far? That can make a big difference, too. There are a small but growing number of certified headache specialists in the world -- if you are ever looking for a second opinion or to make a change, we can send you some lists.
We're here to answer any questions you have or just provide support. Migraine sucks and you don't have to go through it alone. Hugs to you. -Melissa, team member
