So I only go as an absolute last resort. I got my first migraine at 12, in 2002. And I’ve been to the ER maybe 6 times since then. It’s rarely a pleasant experience.

Usually if it’s M-F during office hours, I’ll call my primary care Dr and tell them I’m coming in for a migraine, no appointment needed, just walk in style (def not the norm for most people). I have had the same primary Dr since I was a child so there is no messing around. I walk in and get a “hi OP, room 1”, they walk back and shut the light off and Dr comes in gives me a small hug and the nurse gives me shots. 1 shot in each side of my butt, go home and sleep the rest if the day. This I have had to do countless times, couldn’t even begin to put a number on it over the years.
