@doctor.painkiller: Tough love for migraine patients, part 3 of 3. Not medical advice, talk to your own doctor before changing anything. #migraine #migrainerelief #brainhealth
What are your opinions on Botox for migraines? I love the idea of not having to take more pills on a daily basis but don’t know of anyone who’s tried it before

The hard part about side effects/being scared to try a new med is when you’re already feeling your worst, you don’t want something to add on to it.

here in the uk you get dismissed for asking for a second opinion or even speaking up for yourself. it's extremely hard when your suffering and they make it even harder for you 💔

“Not your fault” doesn’t mean “nothing you can do”. I love this. This can definitely apply to many things in our lives.

It took me 2 years to get into the migraine clinic and the appointment lasted 15 minutes where he recommended me vitamins, nutrients, and to drink more water. I shared it online, my experience and I was appauled to learn the doctor gave the most surface level advice that is typically given out by receptionists pre-appointment.

Could you please explain why I am itching/ tingling when I have a migraine. It is a new symptom for me. I really appreciate it and thank you.

My primary won’t refer me to neurology….my insurance doesn’t require a referral but the neuro does. Primary prescribed Nurtec, but insurance won’t approve without her either working with neuro or it being prescribed by neuro. And I don’t have many options for primary providers in my area and it sucks.

Second dr this one didn’t even bother to listen just read the notes and agreed with the previous dr. I’m on the 7th med to help with my headaches and have had no relief in the last year.

So, what do people like me do when we can’t afford the treatment and insurance does not cover it? And I’ve seen to sensitivity to side effects. Have yet to meet a neurologist here in Tucson, Arizona that will treat in the best interest for my health and that understands my medical history.

I was wondering about how you guys feel if your patient decides to get a second opinion. In my case nothing has worked when I tell my doctor how I feel he tells me well there’s nothing I can do and he is always in vacation or something happen that he can’t see me and because my Insurance is tricare there’s not much I can do

Is it common for Dr. to give you rescue treatments when your headache hasn’t broke in 70 plus days ?

I have been watching you and your partner for a few months. I realized how behind I am with all the changes. I have Lyme disease that crossed the blood brain barrier and my migraines are out of control. I found a migraine specialist who is also connected to my spinal neurosurgeon. I printed all the forms and I am going to make an appointment on Monday. Thank you for making me feel more confident to even try finding help again. I have run up against so many neurologists that have not been helpful. Thanks!

Can I have you as my doc? My PCP is my age and when I've talked with him about my migraines he's kind of minimized it and talked around it

The neurologist I saw told me I was just having anxiety. Went to a second neurologist who diagnosed migraines. Now taking a CGRP and I’m so much better. (It wasn’t anxiety.)

Do you recommend skipping the meds and going for straight to botox for someone with chronic migraine and fibromyalgia?
