Has anyone tried Botox for headaches?

Please, I have been on every elimination diet there is, gluten included. I had to be on these drugs called MAO Inhibitors (some very old antidepressants that have diet restrictions that are extremely restricted because certain foods react very badly to them, as in to cause a hypertensive crisis and death). That MAOI diet eliminated everything from chocolate, to cheese, nuts, processed meats and foods. The list of foods to avoid is daunting. It was also called a “tyramine free” diet. From my understanding tyramine is also produced when foods break down so leftovers were out of the question. I followed this extremely strict diet for several years and it did not make any difference in my migraines except to make me miserable. Have you been on a restrictive diet like this? I lost 100 lbs but still had the headaches. Please do not tell me it’s my diet.

I agree McGrath!

I concur. Migraines are multi-faceted and difficult to treat. There isn’t ”One Perfect Recommendation” or protocol that will work for everyone. I found out I have Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in 2016 (age 55) with dissected carotids, FMD, wretched Cervical mess (C2 - C5), and a geneticist is discovering more bizarre issues and metabolic weirdness…. We are far more complex than current science can even fathom.
Dr. Pradeep Chopra is a compassionate provider who is attempting to understand pain in humans. He has some validating and informative presentations on YouTube and elsewhere, and is attempting to educate med students re pain patients.
Bless him and providers like him, and wishing positive energy to those of us dealing with life-altering pain.
Warm healing vibes to you < 3
