Migraines
Ugh. I've had chronic DAILY migraines for years.
After lots of trial and error what works for me is this:
Seasonique Birth control (so I can limit when I get my period to 4x a year...hormone changes are a big contributor to my migraines)
Topamax
Relpax for the pain, combo'd with Advil if it's really horrible
and...Botox every 10 weeks. Honestly, Botox has been my miracle cure. All of those other things helped limit my migraines to 10-15/month, but with Botox, I'm down to 1-2/month. Heaven.
