daily headache pain

I have had daily headaches for 3 years now. The Mayo Clinic recommended botox injections and also something to use as preventative called Cefaly for migraine. I was skeptical as I used to have migraines years ago but did not think these were migraines. I used the Cefaly device every night in the preventative mode 20 minutes (it provides electrical stimulation and desensitizes the trimengial nerve in the forehead. After using that only a few times and also in the acute mode which is 60 minutes my headaches became less intense. After only one session of botox injections my headaches went away after a few days. They are now back and only dull. I was able to stop Tylenol and ibuprofen completely. Hope this helps. The botox injections are given by Pain Management here. I am on a wait list and had to pay out of pocket for the first treatment but it was worth it to be headache free!

Thank you.

I had headaches every day nonstop. Neurology couldn't figure it out. So they put me on verapamil ER 120 mg twice a day and they immediately went away. I am now in the process of weaning off the medication and they are not returning.
