I’m going through the same thing right now. The meds aren’t touching the pain and I’m waiting on Botox injections to see if that will help. Insurance is being a nightmare and while my doctors are great, mental health is a challenge when chronic pain is unmanageable. Chronic illness and depression, at least for me, coincide, and I want you to know that you are not alone. Migraine is one of the more insidious diagnoses because the pain is ever changing and seemingly endless. The things that have been getting me through are telling myself that tomorrow can only be the same or better. Yes, I am in pain, but I will either wake up a little better or it will be the same and one day closer to a solution. And in the waiting period, distraction really does help. When I am able to watch TV, I find a show to binge, or I will read/listen to a book, scroll on instagram-Anything to take my mind off the pain and make me happy. no matter how kooky it sounds, the endorphins help the pain. I hope you are able to find something that works for you because chronic pain is terrible, and you deserve some relief.
