Welcome Jenn @mommajenn97, I can't imagine how difficult it must be dealing with headaches almost every day. There are a couple of other discussions that you might find helpful:
-- Does anyone have daily persistent headache all day, every day?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/does-anyone-have-daily-persistent-headache-all-day-every-day/
-- Chronic migraine relief suggestions: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/chronic-migraine-relief-suggestions/

Hi ! I am sorry you are going thru this. I also suffer from migraines. Have you tried:
- Marijuana Gummies (low dose)
- Monthly shots - I am on Ajovy 225 mg
- Ubrelvy, 100 mg
- Ondansetron (melts under your tongue for quick nausea relief)
I would be interested in what you are taking for the migraines.
I found this mint thing that looks like a tube of lipstick. You inhale it and it helps ease pain/nausea.
I would love to share what works for you and what you have tried that doesn't work.
Take care !
Amie

I am John, I am 62 and have been in constant, severe pain for 21 years now. I have two MS like chronic illnesses - Transverse Myelitis (TM) and Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS). My pain is in right arm, hand and fingers. My pinky and ring fingers feel like they are in a press, somebody is pulling a string tightly around my wrist trying to strangle it and I feel like I’m being stung by bees in my lower arm. Always. From time to time the pain grows into my upper arm and body. I struggle to find a way to hold my arm while I sleep, so fatigue is a constant companion. I have two wonderful rescue dogs, Ruby (14) and Hayduke (12), who help make my life worth living. All the best to every one of us
