Thanks for the help!
I have chronic migraines. In my case it means a constant headache with a powerful migraine every few days.
In terms of medication, I've tried: Triptans & NSAIDs as pain relief; Propanalol, Amitriptyline, Topiramate and an Ocipital Nerve block as preventation. I've tried Magnesium as a supplement, which I'd hear helped others.
Then there's stuff like acupuncture, trigger points and one or two things I can't remember the name of.
Botox is an option, but one that's met with resistance in my family.
That's it I think. I really appreciate the advice.
Oh, I actually have next to no knowledge of migraines! Haha, some of my advice may before may even be irrelevant now, because I assumed it was pain in the sense of musculoskeletal or peripheral neuropathic type pain!
