Hi
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I understand how frustrating it is to have frequent migraine attacks and not wanting to be on medications. Here's the thing - episodic migraine (14 or fewer migraine/headache days a month) can transform into chronic migraine (15 or more migraine/headache days a month) fairly quickly, without proper treatment and no one wants to be chronic!
Propranolol is typically a first line treatment for migraine and is one of the first drugs FDA approved for migraine prevention. Many do very well with this medication. We have more information here; https://migraine.com/migraine-treatment/propranolol-inderal.
On the other hand Ajovy is a new CGRP medication many do well on too. I've tried propranolol which didn't work for me, but that doesn't mean it won't for you. I don't take CGRP medications at the moment.
I'm sure others will be along shortly to share their experiences with you and I'm sending you pain free wishes, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator Migraine.com Team
