I’ve also probably “tried it all” over the past 40+ years of migraines! Most recently, I was having rebound headaches with imitrex. Neuro prescribed Ubrelvy. It worked, but I was having 10-15 headache days/month, so she suggested Qulipta. I am now down to 2-4 headache days/month!!!! Wooo whoooooo!

Although I hate taking medication, I am so grateful it’s an option. My poor mother suffered most of her life with nothing but aspirin and darkness. When they came out with “Fiornal” she thought it was a gift from above!

BTW - I suggest you find a neurologist who listens and cares AND i was told the “prednisone dose pack” should be a very last resort because it’s so hard on your body- that being said, I’ve received it a handful of times in my lifetime.
Also-go online and contact the pharmaceutical company to see if you can get help with your copays - I have!

@njzmom fiorinol is the only medication that helps/works for me. I’ve tried them all over the past 35 years. My migraines are often a result of barometric pressure changes. I have read to stay indoors during major weather changes, wear sunglasses etc. this does not work, as even when I stay indoors, I can get a migraine from weather fluctuations. It’s tough, I lose too many days to migraine or recovering from meds.
