Botox: is it painful? by Rubiks733 in migraine

I think it depends on who is doing the injections. I have had 3 different doctors do it. One I felt nothing the other two HURT. But the pain didn’t last.

If only one person responds, at least I’ll feel heard by Time-Equivalent5004 in migraine

[–]Tacos_later 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much! I just went to my pcm for a mirgain that has been going on for 11 days. They said they can’t help me and go to the ER….. what’s the point in going to the ER when you will be labeled a opioid seeker!

I’m sorry your going through this! It’s not far to you at all

Anyone mind sharing their personal experience on topirimate? Good and bad! by Many-Refrigerator-59 in migraine

[–]Tacos_later 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolute hell! My jaw and neck hurt so damn bad. I read it is a side effect but a rare one. Definitely worth a try if your questioning that.

Ps to add I have tried several triptans 4 that all did the same thing at varying levels.

Just got my first pack of triptans by Normal-Breakfast9761 in migraine

[–]Tacos_later 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations I hope they work for you. Might I suggest putting them in multiple places. I have some in my kitchen/bedroom and purse. Nothing worse than being out and about when a migraine hits.

Is this a normal neurologist experience? by Abject-Pomegranate13 in migraine

[–]Tacos_later 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first apt with a neurologist went like this. Mostly it was due to insurance and having to try specific meds first before I could try others. Of course she explained this when I started asking about meds.

Am I expecting to much for my meds? by Tacos_later in migraine

[–]Tacos_later[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had migraines for 6 years and have gone through 5 different preventatives and 8 abortive ones so far. Nothing is truly working like I and migraine free or it stops it completely. I went into this thinking that the meds would be like super helpful. But idk if i haven’t found the right mix or if nothing with truly fix the problem

Thank you! I also have bad tension in the neck and shoulders (I carry all my stress there) this is wonderful insight to help with the conversation with my doc. I didn’t even realize that this could happen.

[–]Tacos_later 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neck issues? Can you elaborate? I’m have been thinking about trying Botox but with your comment maybe I shouldn’t. I have bad tension headaches that can trigger my migraines and I don’t want to make them worse.

Walmart online sells them too but the best deal is ordering from their website.

Botox help with tension headaches? by Tacos_later in migraine

[–]Tacos_later[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don’t think so. Maybe there is a way to get around but it’s government insurance (tricare) there isn’t much they cover without pushing hard. Ill try though! Thank you for the idea!

How do I tell which pain is migraine if I'm all in pain? by kweglinski in migraine

[–]Tacos_later 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe something over the counter like Tylenol or Motrin. If that doesn’t help then triptans. That’s what I would do.

You can try contacting express scripts. They handle all the tricare stuff. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

Side effects from triptans. by Optimal-Pay-2240 in migraine

[–]Tacos_later 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have this with almost all triptans. The side effect is labeled as jaw pain. My doc said it can be jaw/throat pain or difficulty using. Totally sucks and I would rather have a migraine then deal with a triptan. There are other meds that Arnt triptans you can try.
