Hello. I’m new here and have been taking in the great conversations of this sight. But on this subject I had to reply. Migraines were a continual fact of my life. I have tried so many of the therapies mentioned on this thread. Some of the triptans were somewhat helpful but never totally successful. I had a course of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks, Botox, but nothing worked. Somehow they eventually turned into “alarm clock” (hypnic) headaches. I was prescribed Verapamil but this caused heart issues.
I then moved to Atlanta and started going to Emory. I found a solution. They gave me a “Greater Occipital Nerve Block”. This isn’t a cure but a relief. I received 2 shots in the back of my neck where the Occipital nerves begin and spread across the brain. I HAVE NOT HAD A HEADACHE SINCE!!
