Ive suffered from migraines starting around middle school till now. I started getting Botox treatment for migraines along with taking an emgality shot that I administer myself monthly and my migraines that would end me up in the hospital almost multiple times a month started to slowly become a distant thing. Now maybe twice a year I'll end up in the hospital. I use relpax if I feel one starting to come on and that also works well to stop it.

There's hope and help out there but it's a pain in the ass road. The Botox injections hurt like a bitch but it's only every 3 months. I get through it by squeezing my hands together while my butcher..I mean.... neurologist administers the shots. It's a lot of shots in a short amount of time.

Had to read the first sentence a few times to make sure you weren't suffering from the disease "middle school"

    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
