@Courtney_J I get mine almost daily - at least 3 times a week. I think they're definitely work/stress related since I work in front of a computer. And even more now working from home. It's almost a blessing working at home now because I can take breaks and lie down when I feel one coming on. But in normal times I basically live with a bottle of Excedrin at my side.
I had intended on searching out a neurologist before COVID hit because I can't get my normal doctor do do anything, but that's been put on the backburner for now.

I've had migraines my whole life and it wasn't until my family doctor the other day said that migraines and depression are linked that I put them together. I'm not sure which one triggers the other, but when I think about it my worst periods of depression have always come after a migraine attack. My migraines are better now that I'm on meds, but before they'd go on for weeks and would happen like every other month.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.

Ambassador@Somya.P My neurologist gave me a script through the state dispensary for aid with sleep. It helps with sleep. The script is for low dose THC, so it aids with minor pain. I have learned through my trials of product that CBD gummies help with sleep, but not pain. In my state, CBD gummies can be bought at local corner stores.

Hello everyone,
As you know, migraines can differ from person to person. For some they may be cyclical, following the rise and fall of hormone levels, or for others they may be caused by a another condition, medication, or lifestyle habits.
How often do you have migraines? What do you do when you get them?
