   <p>Mayh, <br> I'm so sorry things have been rough for you lately. It's so frustrating when you put all your time and energy into getting better and it doesn't seem to be helping. <br> <br> You mentioned having muscles aches and pains. That's something I deal with a lot. I've done physical therapy with little results. Yoga helps me now quite a bit. At one time, my doctor put me on muscle relaxants like Flexeril or Valium- have you tried these? They may also help with some of the social anxiety you mentioned. Of course its a personal choice to be on meds like these and something that should be discussed with your doctor. <br> <br> Biofeedback and meditation might be options for you to consider if you haven't tried them yet. For me, these haven't cured my Migraines, but they are a way of helping to cope and manage the stress and pain. <br> <br> Dr. Marcus wrote a great article about balancing drug and natural ways to cope with Migraines. <br> <a href='http://migraine.com/blog/learning-to-live-with-it/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer nofollow'>http://migraine.com/blog/learning-to-live-with-it/</a> <br> <br> I wish you well! <br> -Katie</p>
