Started taking migraine meds. Instead of a three-day incapacitating pounder, I get an occasional throbbing headache - not even on the scale of a migraine.
I’m on Amytriptoline. It seems though, that migraine meds varying a lot in their effects on different people. I know a couple of people who tried it with ilttle effect.
did you see a neurologist for that migraine, 26months is very long time. i started getting ocular and minor temple migraine after showering one year, it was wierd. it has consistently showed up since almost always on the right side of my head. i also get scintillating scotoma(the constant flickering) that fans out of your field of vision.
I saw three different neurologists! I had a spinal tap done too, and a bunch of tests involving a VR headset.
My neurologist was not great. Basically assessed that I wasn’t having a stroke and then lost interest.
Yup. Spent over 10 years trying to figure it, test what could be causing it, resisting meds. I finally got a doc who told me about Tripitans. Life changing for me.

I had a 26-month long migraine… What med? I tried four different triptans, indomethacin, gabapentin, qulipta, Botox… (So much Botox!)

Oh yeah, I tried that too! That was actually one of the first ones they gave me.

What do you take for the headache? Advil?
For a regular headache, I take asparin. Tylenol and Advil doesn’t work for me.
