    You must be on a preventative, right? Rather than just managing pain when they come on?

    I’ve tried Nurtec, Aimovig, and about to start Ajovy.

    Nurtec and Aimovig worked pretty well, though not perfect. If you haven’t tried a preventative, I highly suggest seeing a neurologist, if you can.

      My medication is just for managing the pain/alleviating symptoms. I have seen neurologists and have been thoroughly examined.

      My migraines are caused by having received multiple traumatic brain injuries due to blunt force trauma and concussive shock waves from being blown up while deployed overseas in active combat. Unfortunately, nothing much can be done about this accept for trying to manage the pain.

      The good news is that I seem to be getting them much less frequently than I used to, so maybe my brain is attempting to heal itself. I used to get a migraine just about once a week. Now it’s only about once every other month.
