October 2020 my 24x7 Headaches / migraine started.

Question – Did your neurologist mention if you have a tense neck?
My neurologist found I have/ had a very tense neck (causing tension headaches) and gave referral to Physical Therapy - Dry Needling. After first session, no headaches for the first time in years. The relief lasted 3-4 hours. As the weekly session went on, the relief increased. After 20 weekly session, I now go monthly. After hearing the positive result, my neurologist prescribed Baclofen 10mg 3x/ day (muscle relaxer). This was one piece of many to my issue/ symptom puzzle.

Neurologist also has prescribed Vyepti infusions (once every 3 months). After first infusions, head pain level of 8 down to 4, which increased to 6 after 30 days. The second infusion was positive just not as much as first. Note, neurologist had prescribed two Migraine Infusions earlier. They were very strong but didn't help.

I showed my neurologist some of my research (see link below) and she referred to Allergy and Immunology, who is now referring me to a Immunology Specialist. I started getting a gut feeling that my root cause was "cell level". Also, I learned Immunology does a different set of Lab Blood Work.
