I have been suffering from chronic migraine for many years, and have not been able to find a solution. My migraines are bearable in cold weather. Once the season changes and the barometric pressure rises, I am in pain 24/7. Summer is a disaster. I am now trying large doses of Gabapentin plus starting Botox injections, something which I have put off as I detest needles, but finally am trying as a last resort. None of the injection- type drugs have ever helped. I wish you luck.

@spenjen I had hormonal migraines from my 20's til I went into menopause. I tried EVERYTHING for them. The ONLY thing that helped was Imitrex injections that I gave myself.(the pills did not help much) I would get at least 9 a month.(throwing up, head pounding, can't open eyes, talk, eat, move....kill me type) But once I went into menopause, POOF! Gone! I rarely get a migraine now. But I do have non-stop cervical headaches now from fibromyalgia/whiplash/osteoarthritis.
