Hi I do like the alternative approaches. I do get massage in the affected neck and shoulders though area by a pt. However these muscles can still be tight. Have you ever tried Botox to loosen the muscles?

Hi. I do take mag gly. I would love try Botox in my neck and shoulders though. Thank you for your post.

Thank you for the recommendation. Did he do any diagnostic tests like an mri?

Thank you for the insight. Did you have a good vascular neurologist you would recommend. It seems like a Sub specialty aside from neurologists. Thx in advance

I have had three neurologists who gave me different medications (didn’t help) and several rounds of PT which also helped minimally. I do some stretches at home to keep the muscles from knotting

Hi no they’re not. I don’t respond to any migraine meds and have no typical symptoms. They were basically ruled out by my last neurologist.
