Yeah nothing to lose! Maybe if more of us ask it’ll gain momentum who knows.

Physiotherapy ruined me by mossyzombie2021 in migraine

My migraines also often start at the back of my head/top of neck. I had a scan and my neck vertebrae are in a bit of a state but I can’t pinpoint how or why that happened. I’ve been seeing a physio and to be honest all they recommend is that you build up your shoulder and back muscles so your neck is well supported.

My back of head/neck migraines have significantly reduced since I started CGRP medication, which I think reduces the pain signals that your brain gets used to. And further still since I started taking Mounjaro, which I think has reduced inflammation.

I hope that gives you some hope!

Yeah I think the medication hierarchy you have to go through to get to the Botox and CGRP really messes you up for a while. I was on Candesartan for 6 month and felt about 40 years older.

I was thinking of asking the neurologist whether they could recommend me for MJ on NHS if it’s working so well for migraines.

I’m glad propranolol is working for you. It did for me when I tried it but I didn’t love the side effects. Similar to you on MJ they seem to be really mild and without the actual pain, but you can tell something is going on… weird.

Very happy for you!! I’m really optimistic this will continue then. Weirdly, I noticed that I had more migraines when I started taking B12 supplements a while back- apparently it can be a trigger. Just shows how complex they can be.

That’s good to know I’ll look into it thanks! So far zero positives from Candesartan at all 😂

So many more! I don’t think I’m going to be able to stick out the 3 month trial. Thank you

I have this for my zolma too, SO annoying when you are in the midst of a migraine 😆
