@mslee56 - Hi...thanks for your response. I am told I don't have migraines.....just more in the headache category...I was given various medications for migraines which didn't really help except to make me nauseous and sick...I had even invested in the expensive Nortec (Lady Gaga's migraine med) and had hoped it would work as it had absolutely no side effects and taken every other day......but it didn't help...in a way I was happy because it was incredibly expensive. If I can be medication free, the better for me. Will continue with the Botox for the time being. I just looked up Baclafen....why was it given to you??? It says it's for MS, Spinal Cord injuries, Cerebral Palsy, Meningitis, etc. I can't believe what it did to you!!! So sorry to read you had to go through so much....

I hope the botox helps you. I didn't stay on it long enough to find out.
I am on medicare so the current 2000 dollar cap for drugs is in effect for me. I hit that in January and after that insurance paid 100%. Abbvie makes qulipta and ubrelvy, Humana denied ubrelvy so Abbvie sends it to me, no charge.
I hope your headaches are resolved soon. Everyone is different and not all drugs work for everyone. Maybe they could give you something for nausea? I take generic zofran, odt. You have to get the odt because the pills are useless.
Good luck to you in your journey.
