Daughter, mid 40's, has had chronic headaches since teen years. Pain doctor will no longer prescribe Indocin and Imitrex, which she has taken for years, possibly because she takes too often. Daughter is terrified of having migraines with no pain relief, having to miss work, etc. She took morphine which helped a lot for a short time, botox did not help. Also recently had pain in legs and feet diagnosed as fibromyalgia, takes hydrocodone which helps. She looks to meds to give relief. Any thoughts from others with similar situation or conditions? The fear of pain causes a lot of anxiety for her and thereby for family.

I have been dx with migraines since 2000. Have taken every med out there et none have worked. I experience mostly cluster which are very painful. I tried the daith piercings. They say do them on the side you have your h/a I did 1st one on opposite d/t they say do not sleep on them. Takes 6-9 months to heal. Had no prob. with 1st one slept on it et everything. So did the other side which experience them mostly on. Minute ear pierced my nostril even opened up instantly which is always plugged. Have only had very dull h/a which ex-migraine takes away if I need something!:)
