...It makes no sense. The presence or absence of something structural that can be seen on a standard MRI of course doesn't prove or disprove that the condition is psychosomatic - things like migraine and epilepsy don't show up, so it's not at all surprising that "functional" seizures don't either.

Here's a video of Dr Mauskop doing the injections for migraine in four minutes.

I had my second round of botox for chronic migraine last month (given at 3 month intervals). I had to fail 3x oral preventatives and have >15 migraine days a month to qualify for it on NHS. It's not prescribed for episodic migraine and I'm unsure how effective it would be for that. I suffered...

You might like to read the link to Dr Mauskop's work in my above post and I think it will set your mind at rest! You get injections in the scalp, mainly, loads of them. I barely felt a thing (very fine needle) and it was over very quickly. Because it's not your face getting injected (apart from...

I have never tried botulinum toxin but I've always thought it sounded terrifying. Would it be used to inject migraine sufferers in the head? I've only seen it used (on TV) for two different problems - smoothing out wrinkles on the face and how it can cause the face to become expressionless...

Merged thread I have suffered from migraine for 40 years and severe ME for 30 years. I am eligible for a trial of rimegepant as a prophylactic medicine and wonder if anyone else has tried it. Also has anyone tried botulinum toxin?

...investigation. Also sometimes a GWAS confirms previous theories: I recall that there there were historically two leading causal theories for migraine - the vascular theory and the theory that it was a disorder of neurotransmitter function - and when well powered GWASes for migraine started to...

...gall to pretend - you know the classic game-playing that happens. People eventually believe their own rewriting. It’s like being ill with migraines but worse but all this often starts with not being so severe or being bad but the right conditions stop it getting worse, and then we get...

Update on the update, the recovery phase has settled into a longer than usual period without migraines. I did get PEM after driving 1mile to post my postal ballot and then being intercepted for chats by both my neighbours which is unusual to say the least as I usually chat to them around once a...

Side issue, but someone doing “something” about all the things you can’t control would be good. And I probably mean a journalist, maybe some research? On this false standard that we can rest and pace as if we live in a sealed box. My cat can do this, because I’m his owner and I supply all his...

...has been quite stand-out to me. B12 I woke the next day with a big breath and the not being able to look at a screen for 10-20 mins without migraine is resolved. Another med I didn't expect to make any difference (taken for something else completely) I suddenly wondered after 3 weeks why I...
