ANy advice for a friend who has hit a wall with migraine relief?

[TJKay]

8. I also tried three rounds...

30-something shots every 12 weeks. The 15 minutes it took for each round were incredibly painful. I never got any relief.

I had migraines as a child that went away when i was around 25. Then, at 30, they resumed, and I've tried dozens of therapies. I've learned that neurologists don't like dealing with migraine patients. There are no clear-cut therapoed, and migraineurs can be high-maintenance., mauve worse than fibromyalgia patients.

It's best to find a headache speccialist. They are hard to fibnd.

In the end, my GP has agreed to keep me aupplied with Maxalt and fiorinal. I've given up on preventatives, choosing to just treat acute headachea. It works OK. I consider myself a "functional migraineur." Other than than the pain, my meds can sometimes cause memory loss during an attack. I'm able to keep that on the downlow, I think. I've had a few issues at work with memory gaps. 'm praying age eventuallu assuage things.

Anyway, I feel you friend's pain....literally.
