Yes. Ive had migraines for years. The only thing that works for me is Zomig . And i have tried everything . I get about 18 a month (migraines). Tried botox but only cut them down to 15 a month . I cannot live without my zomig.
I went in to pain management for neck, occipital neuralgia pain that turns into headaches daily then migraines. He thinks its Myofascial pain which is a chronic, painful condition that affects the fascia (connective tissue that covers the muscles). Myofascial pain syndrome might involve either a single muscle or a muscle group. Also thinks it's Fibro related. Wrote a script to physical therapy...like that'll help. Most of those therapists don't spend enough time with you because they are working on 10 people at once. Still in pain daily praying it doesn't turn into migraine.
Yes I get migraines but I also get just about every day a headache so when I see my pain management DR on Tuesday I am going to tell him . And I will let you know what he says
Yes, migraines are associated with fibro...altho I was dx 9+ yrs b4 with migraines b4 fibro. Can try some OTC migraine meds like Excedrin Migraine, Advil Migraine, Tyl Migraine etc. But you want to take 1st thing you feel one coming on or meds will not be helpful. If nothing OTC works go see your MD there are several diff. meds your MD can prescribe et find one hopefully to work for you. Hope something works for you. Migraines as I'm sure you're learning aren't fun, but at least they eventually go away unlike fibro:( Many many hugs sent your way et God bless!!
Same with @A MyFibroTeam Member. I get migraines associated with my Fibro.
If I catch it early enough I can take 3 Tylenol w/caffeine and I get better. If I don't catch it in time I have to take Neurotriptan.
