Daily Migraines - How do we function?

New to this forum. Migraines became chronic about 6 years ago, after having episodic migraines since age 20. Changes probably related to perimenopause? I get regular botox, started 3 years ago, but also rely on tryptans to get through the week. Jaw clenching at night worsens things. Have had some success with physio for TMJ. Have trouble working full time.

@dd75 Have you tried preventatives such as propranolol or Vyepti, in addition to Botox? Both were life-changing for me when I was getting chronic daily migraines.

@dd75 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. To not be able to work full-time, if you are wanting to, would be rough. Sorry to hear your migraines changed over to chronic.
How have the onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox) treatments gone for you? Do you feel they have helped? Do you have any side effects from that treatment or the triptans?
