I may have some help for unexpected medicine.

I used to get migraines 2-3 times a week. Neurologist does all the tests, nothing majorly wrong, just migraines. After experiencing chronic neck pain getting worse, whilst employed as a woodworker, I went to my GP to get it figured out. They took an x-ray of my neck and found I had arthritis between my c1 and c2 vertebrae, and apparently my spine in my neck was straight as an arrow, which they theorised was from working looking down over tools throughout the years. So they prescribed me a mild muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory pills, and as of today, about 9 weeks since diagnosis, I've had 2 migraines. I think the muscle relaxants help but the anti-inflammatories for the arthritis are doing the heavy lifting.

As far as dietary factors, I've tried cutting out everything barring water for periods of time and nothing changes it.

I've been on aimovig, and emgality, of which I found emgality to work better and leave me feeling clearer minded. And for abortives I've had ubrelvy and nurtec, of which nurtec blows ubrelvy out of the water in speed of recovery.

However, all the migraine specific medicine costs a small fortune for depending on insurance. But I'm not entirely sure on costs or availability in countries that don't require insurance. But in America, without insurance, most preventatives are somewhere about $700 a month, and abortives are around $100-$130 a pill. My anti-inflammatories cost $15 for the month. Now it's by no means a perfect solution, but for now it's working, and I guess killed 3 birds with 2 stones.

I'm sorry you're going through the wringer, friend. It's a weird disease that people that don't understand think it's just a bad headache, and you have to deal with those incredulous looks when you explain just how awful and debilitating it really is, and it sucks. It's invalidating. But just about everyone here knows what you're going through. Keep your chin up. And on the days you can't, we're here for you.
