Headache and Migraine Group: Let’s connect

Posted by Lisa Lucier, Moderator @lisalucier, Feb 27, 2025

Welcome to the Headache & Migraine support group on Mayo Clinic Connect.

If you or someone you care about has headaches or migraines, this is a great place to talk with others with similar experiences. It’s a welcoming forum to learn from each other and share stories about challenges, coping strategies, setbacks and what helps.

Take these steps to participate in the group:

  • Follow the group.
  • Browse topics.
  • Use the group search to find answers to your questions.
  • Introduce yourself.

Pull up a chair and chat. Why not start by introducing yourself? What is your experience, or your loved one’s experience, living with headache or migraine (i.e., what type, how long since diagnosis, how it’s managed)? Have a question, tip or story to share?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Headache & Migraine Support Group.

I have been suffering with chronic headaches and migraines for the last 15 years. I think I have tried most of the options available to me and am currently doing the Emgality shot which make my headaches more controllable but they’re still there almost every afternoon. I just read an article about VNS or vagus nerve stimulation helping chronic headaches and migraines. (AARP newsletter). Has anyone tried this? Apparently it is FDA approved to reduce inflammation. Feedback would be most welcome.

@ekj1234 hiya I have been in the same boat as you, tried everything until a doctor told me to give up the medication and do neck exercises 3-4 times a day, watch some YouTube videos and to my surprise I’ve not had a migraine for the past 4-5 weeks give it a go
