What medications do you recommend?

I wouldn’t say the MRI is useless. I had one today because I have sudden onset of migraine auras (everyday for months) & stroke-like symptoms (may be hemiplegic migraine etc). So they can’t just diagnose it as migraines without ruling out possible brain tumors, stroke, etc. That’d be dangerous

Congratulations that's a big win (Positioning Statement) kudos to AHS. This will certainly help with awareness and importantly the PRIORITY of treating debilitating migraines with appropriate care. Now the advocacy fight is getting these therapies noticed in the IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) calendar.

Thank you so very much ladies. I was looking forward to this being uploaded to CZcams since I wasn't able to attend the live view. Aimovig and now Anjovy have seriously changed not only my life, but also the lives of my husband and kids who had to pick up the broken pieces of me when I was so constantly ill. I posted a testimonial for Aimovig on CZcams some years ago. I feel so lucky to almost be entirely migraine free and have so much gratitude to the men and women that dedicate their lives to reducing the pain and frequency of this utterly crappy condition.

I have become depressed because of my cluster headaches, which my neurologist said could be triggering seizures.

Shruuummmzzz

Does weed help

Try LONG HOUR F.A.S.T.I.N.G..I tired it and my HEADACHES are G.O.N.E..I did WATER only F.A.S.T(NO Green tea NO coffee NO Lemon water) only plain water for 48hours-52hours and you'll be amazed..I suffered debilitating pain for 20 years and now for the past 1&half years I'm pain free..Try and see..and spread this INFO to everyone..My messages are being deleted hence im writing the main words with dots between them..

I hate when they call it a headache.. IT IS NOT A HEADACHE! It’s a bone crushing death defying why am I not dying wth bull 💩 pain u can’t discribe! It’s insulting to call it a freaking headache! She don’t have them I can tell! Headache phhf! 😡 and u keep saying brief.. what!? Mine last a hour to 3! And I have 4 to 6 or more every 24 hours on a good day! I’ve had them as bad as 18 to 20! I’ve had nervous breakdowns! I can’t cope when their severe different times of the years! Mine never ever stop! They just started one day many years ago and never stopped! I have PTSD from this. I can’t leave my house they happen so much. I sleep when I can. Because they happen day and night.. well. I just stay home. I scare people if I’m out. No one can help me. I also have Trigeminal Neualgia. Amd the cluster triggers the Trigeminal! So even tho my brain surgery worked, cluster forces it to kick in! So I get hit with both at same time! Two of the worst pains on the planet hitting me at same time on same time! I’ve had just cluster, and just Trigeminal hit. It’s less painful. With both hitting at same time. Omg! Double the massive pain! Life kicking me while I’m down! Hard!

Hi. I suffer from cluster headaches and I take sumatriptan. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them once and for all?

I have Cluster Headache, and it is no headache... it's an assault on the human spirit.

Sometimes i have bad migranes or minor pinner migranes

I have clustol head ace

Thank you. I hope in future all the prescription required devices will be available without prescription in other parts of the world.

I feel your pain Byron , I have debilitating Cluster Headaches

Have had severe severe pain in div 2 trigeminal nerve after ENSS sinus surgery in 2020. Seen dr graff Radford and MANY other specialists for neurology- 25 other specialists said nothing found. 25 years later- debilitating pain continues.. help?

I have had all my life aura migraine with a mild headache, as well as a very bad case of motion sickness, but 8 years ago I began to have attacks of vestibular migraine (disorientation, dizziness, vertigo, nausea, violent vomiting and after that a full-blown headache - and all the time I have to be completely motionless and my eyes closed to try to ward off the horrible vertigo and nausea). Some triggers: bad sleep, stress, motion sickness. But all my attacks have come after looking at the screen of a laptop or a phone. My neurologist found me one medicine which I can take immediately and it works: hydroxyzine in a liquid form.

So helpful great presentation! Thank you so much

Botox. I get Botox injections and it has literally made my migraines with aura go away completely. I get it every few months and headaches stay away. My migraine were visual and speech followed by a headache for 3-4 days.

I waking day ad night brain loos control no sleeping what too loose sleep brain pains mauch

I waking day ad night brain loos control no sleeping what too do

Much drags in brain

In my case it feels like my brain is trying to explode out of my right temple. My doctor gave me a prescription of sumatriptan sub injection pens, that really does it for me. I press it against my thigh, push the button and the pain slowly goes away in about 5-6 minutes

sumatriptan sub injection pens works for me, the pain slowly subsides after 5-6 min. Thank you science and pharma

Bsuseay, tinnitus, photo sensitivity, intolerance to noise, fatigue, slurry sppech.. inability to think at all.. those are my symptoms..

Hello Doctor. Thanks for your education. My daughter is 3 months pregnant and is suffering terribly from migraines. Could you recommend something that won’t hurt the baby. Thank you.

Getting a bit nervous about these episodes I've bee having for the last couple of days. Don't ever think I had a cluster headache before last week. Got really ill with a virus for a few days, suddenly pressure in my ear, cluster headaches frequently, and what feels like stuffed sinuses and lymphs.

the western explanation of how aupuncture works is preposterous.

I'm doing my best to cater to my wife, but it's like it's never good enough. One day she say I'm the best husband ever two days later I'm in the dog house due to some circumstances that you have no control over. I don't understand. She says I'm not listening to her when she wants to talk and that i don't understand her, but somehow for whatever reason it's my fault what ever the situation may be.

I'd like to share what worked for me. What you are describing is worse than the migraines I get...however, I think this will work for cluster headaches...this may seem too simple and you may think to dismiss it, but because of how it worked for me, I am convinced it can work for you. 3 things: Most likely your body has contaminants like heavy metal, so stop using any non-stick pots and pans and the like (basically, remove the source of contaminants; Do simple detox that includes soaking in baking soda and pink hamalizan salt or sea salt (you will find examples on youtube); And finally, add magnesium to your diet; in supplements yes, however if you really want success, have a raw vegan diet along with a good magnesium supplement ....its easy to say this wouldn't work, but, try it for yourself. Off-course, its like building muscles, its takes persistent consistency, so be encouraged.

This happens to me at school

Thank you for sharing this information! I’m just now finding this as a newly licensed acupuncturist.

You should always take D3 with K2. (K2 distributes D3 properly to the bones and other places so it is not building up in the arteries!) I developed arthritis (sausage toes, morning stiffness etc.) after a car accident that wasn't my fault mind you, and after learning about Boron and D3/K2 from Dr. Berg online, i started taking 50,000 IU of D3/K2 DAILY. Yes, you read that right, dont make me repeat it!!! It is safe and anyone with a chronic or crazy autoimmune condition needs to FLOOD their body with it and needs a dose far higher than a maintenance dose that a healthy person would take. I reversed my condition completely with 50,000 IU daily after two months. Believe it.

I HAVE to live mylife around migraines

I've had cluster headaches for about 40 years and at times it's been sheer hell. That said, a couple of years ago I was given a greater occipital nerve block (often referred to as a GON block or just a nerve block). What a life saver! I've not had any cluster headaches since. A GON block is an injection of local anaesthetic and steroid around the greater occipital nerve (GON), at the back of the head and top of the neck, designed to reduce the inflammation of tissue and relieve headache. It's literally changed my life as I was in a very bad way.

Many patients with migraine have chronic PTSD.

Let’s be honest u didn’t know crap about the side effects when these came out you people just wanted money. Now I can’t poop can’t eat I’m having dystonia and terrible panic attacks. I just stopped it and what do you know the doctor, Who yelled at me when I asked about side effects, failed to tell it takes 5 months for these shots to leave my system. Time will tell? What a shitty thing to tell a patient. Excuse me: Guinea pig.

Crazy stuff! Severe headaches for almost 3 years, AIW symptoms, vertigo and supermarket syndrome, bvd and more. On my third neurologist 😢 I think we’re onto something. I have an arachnoid cyst in my cavernous sinus and mekels cave that they say may be causing my headaches 😮 what a long journey!

“The fear I felt, the sadness that overcame me as the pain worsened would often send me into a deep depression.” exactly. the pain itself is excruciating. but add to that the exhaustion after a headache and the fear of the next one, the isolation of having to lock yourself away for weeks or months at a time, and the suffocating misery of doing this over and over again… unfortunately i have yet to find a decent treatment.

Definitely fits my description of dizziness,brain fog, nausea, while turning my head. Was diagnosed w occular migraine and neuro put me on migraine meds that did not work. I have clear "swirls" in my vision about 20x per day, everyday in only rt eye for four+ years. These swirls are painless, but are different than a classic migraine aura. Used to have headaches as a kid, but do not have the headache pain now. Very frustrating. Thanks, doc

Definitely some great hacks for me to adopt. I currently don’t have a migraine bag but I’m going to create one. The soda can is a quick easy one. A somewhat costly option is an eye massager device. I use the Eyeris 3, which I purchased during the holidays for a discount. Either heat or ice can be added. Castor packs with heat give me some relief also. And using a neck light to use less light at night or in dark rooms.

I was misdiagnosed for years. All because my doctor assumed I was a drug seeker. Joke's on him though, coz the drugs don't even work. Idiot.

So whats the difference between VM and PPPD then? They sound like one in the same.

Presentation that is clear and coherent. Thank you.

The HAs come in clusters for 6 or more wks, and seem to correlate with seasonal changes where there are a lot of storms and very sudden changes in air pressure.

Thank you Dr

I did my first acupuncture this month April, after two weeks I started to feel miserable and discouraged. Will there be improvement if I go back for the same treatment?

I am just coming out of a migraine today. It was at its peak yesterday and was unbearable. Now, looking back, I can see that the whole week leading up to it was the prodrome phase. Not a great time to be a college student, lol. Thankful for ER staff that took care of me yesterday.

I'm 47, i've been having migraines everytime I had my period since I gave birth 17 yrs ago... But just lately I've been experiencing one sided headaches which was so severe..it even wakes me from sleep. I thought it was just migraine just in different form. and I suffered from dizziness too everytime I have them. Just last week, I felt like the right side of my skull was being pierced with a knife...my right eye was so so painful i had tears coming out of it.... Yesterday I woke up dizzy so i just stayed in bed, as everytime I moved I wanted to throw up... then at about 9pm, those piercing pain on the right side began, then my right eye started to hurt, even my right cheek and temple were throbbing... I wanted to cry from the intense pain but i knew it wouldnt help... it lasted maybe 2 hours or more...
