I have anywhere between 2 and 5 migraines a week. I've already been to 3 doctors about it and none of the medication they've prescribed me works. Anyone have a solution that worked for them? I'm open to just about anything at this point because it's a major damper on my life.
Pic not related, just won't let me post without one and don't feel like searching for a related one.

What medications have you tried? I just did a quick search and there isn't great evidence for anything, unfortunately. For example, SSRIs don't seem to work. Have you seen a pain specialist?
Do you smoke/ingest weed?
Hey anon,
Fellow lifelong migraine sufferer. Migraines have become a buzzword and applied to different levels of head pain. I'm not sure what a migraine is to you.
Personally, for me, there are migraines that disallow me to do anything. The only thing I can do about these is to immediately manage symptoms when I notice them. Once they hit I'm done. Literally nothing works totally for these migraines, and I've tried everything up to very strong opiates (which, bullshit enough, makes migraines worse and last longer). If you have these, you'll have to go through the long process of trying everything. The only thing that works for me, marginally, is oxygen therapy.
I, also, used to have headaches 28/30 days a month. There was never anything I found for these that worked, until I got Botox. Botox has been a miracle cure for these lesser degree, regular headaches and have improved my life massively.
Good luck. Shit is stupid.
There's something called a "daith piercing"? Give it a gander..
It might be fruitful to look into psilocybin containing mushrooms. There's a whole lot of evidence, albeit anecdotal, that they can manage/cure cluster headaches. I don't see why it wouldn't work for your migraines.
If you do pursue this, make sure you get the mushrooms from a reliable source, i.e. the darknet, or you can legally buy the supplies to grow them yourself.
As I said before, none of the evidence has been scientifically verified, but the potential seems worth it.
Lastly, do your research!
