"Just thought I should say this because no one else does: It is OK to stop treating your migraines. Meds have never worked for me and they don’t work for up to 40% of patients. I stopped all treatment and do you know what happened? Nothing. My migraines didn’t get worse because they never got better. However, it made it a LOT easier to pay my bills because insurance doesn’t cover much. But really, if meds aren’t helping, you absolutely CAN just stop them. If you’re like me, it won’t make a bit of difference."
, thank you for saying this. It is absolutely true that it is okay to stop treating migraine. It is a personal decision and there are many reasons (as you mention) as to why medication might not be the right decision for someone. It's good to hear that financial planning has been easier for you because you no long spend the money on the meds. Prescription costs (for any medication) can be unaffordable for many people. Can I ask if you do anything else to help mitigate symptoms? Avoid triggers or made any dietary changes? Again, we appreciate you sharing this perspective. Wishing you a gentle day. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
