Hey folks, Six weeks ago, I underwent "migraine surgery," by Dr. Day at the Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery. It was the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me, and I wanted to share my experience in case there are others like me out there. **My headaches** I'm 39M, and I've had a constant hea

For context, I’ve had average 22 migraines a month for the past 3 years. When they started in 2019, I would get average like 3 a month. They are debilitating, I’m on Qul
Fellow Migraineurs: I have chronic migraines. If I wasn't on emgality, I would have migraines every day. I have a migraine specialist neurologist, I'm a 30 year old woman and I have had my mri's done, as well as a CT scan. I realize that I have never actually met anyone else in my whole life who has

I'm just a ve
I’ve had chronic migraine for 6 months, been treating it with meds and lifestyle changes for 3 months. When I start to feel my headache progress, I’ll take a triptan (rizatriptan, eletriptan, or ubrelvy) but it’s so hard to say confidently if it does anything. Whether or not my migraine gets worse,

Hi all, I just got out of my 4th or 5th appointment with my neurologist and she told me she's stumped and doesn't know what to do with me anymore. I'm so sad. I'm so angry. I'm only 20, trying to start my life. She said she'd talk to some of her colleagues and call me on tuesday but she looked hopel
I tend to experience more migraines during periods of high stress. I was talking about it with my therapist and we identified a pattern where I get immobilized by stress, then get a migraine because of a break in my routine. Then I really can’t do anything but lay in bed for days and wait until the

My migraines started around 2000. They're usually mostly on one side (usually the left), and hurt like hell. They would sometimes get so bad that I would have nausea and, rarely, vomiting. They come with sensitivity to light, but no aura. Most of the time they start in the early morning. I wake up
