Chronic Migraines
Hey yall.
Im not sure how many people struggle with chronic migraines on this site, although i presume its not much haha.
Either way, i thought i would create a new thread where those who do suffer migraines can rant, ask questions, and share copign skills!
@Sugarslums
Sorry, i meant *suffer from migraines lol..
@Sugarslums
Thanks for sharing !
I hope your condition does not impact your daily life too often.
Take care.
I have chronic migraines. Specifically, I get a headache every day. If I don't manage it, it becomes a migraine. Can anyone share some practical ways to manage your day and get into a routine?
@saveyourwords have you tried taking some magnesium supplements?
@HetOorVanVincent yes. I've been put on iron, magnesium and all kinds of other supplements. I've been given botox injections, been on propanolol, cortisone, amitrepilline, memantine hydrochloride, and none of them have broken the cycle. And those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head.
@saveyourwords gosh that sounds exhausting. I can imagine that you must be really tired from trying all those things and not getting any results. I have the same problem but I started monitoring my migrains by this app called migrainebuddy. It helps me to get more insight in what triggers my migraines (it's produced by neurologists) I hope it is available in your country, it might help you give a better overview of your migraines. I hope you find something that will make it better.
@HetOorVanVincent I don't suffer from migraines. But I have had a constant 8/10 headache for just over 4 years, since I was 16! I'm thinking of trying feverfew, I have heard it is a great herbal supplement for migraines.
I have heard great things about it specifically for migraines! I've tried everything to stop my headache, so think it might be worth a shot.
@HetOorVanVincent
Thank you I will definitely try it out. I just downloaded it and it looks promising.
@saveyourwords ive just ordered a cefaly, it's a device you put on your head (I call it my migrainetiara) and it kinda 'shocks' the nerves that are supposed to give you a migraine attack. I'm really curious to find out if it actually works, ill keep you updated.
