Hello I am new. I reside in the American Southwest. Migraine since age 19. Have diagnosis of intracranial hypertension treated with stent not at Mayo. Wish to travel to Mayo for follow up. A friend recently went to Rochester location and found the care phenomenal for a different brain issue. Having trouble getting followed in my home state. Thank you for this site.

Left work at the job of my dreams having 18 + migraines per month. Treated then with sumatriptan with success.
, but turned out it was harmful later on. I am receiving Botox since 2017 with much success. I am used to it by now. I find it was hardest the first 2x. It got easier after took a break at beginning of pandemic took a few cycles to get more relief. I hear a crunchy sound in my scalp. I feel like this has been a game changer for me. Local neurologist I found is so supportive. I also get lidocaine nerve blocks and trigger point injections from my neurologist. Medication methods had failed. I use ice and dark room for pain. Tried Emgality injections were super easy for me due to injections of my animals and making IVs at hospital I worked at. Unfortunately adverse effects were too much to bear. Impacted constipation.
