My husband suffered from severe migraines for many years, he took sumatriptan for years it seemed to work but he was taking it almost everyday and I had concerns, I think the side effects from the med was making his migraines worse hence taking it more and more. So after he did many diet researches he tried Keto, but didn’t work so he tried the carnivore diet eating nothing but red meat, steaks, migraines disappeared just after a few days on carnivore, he’s been on this diet for 8 weeks now and no more migraines until he cheated and ate lots of sugary desserts for a few days, so he went back on the diet and the migraine went away very quickly. I’m not sure if this would work for you everybody is different. But it’s worth a try. I’ll be praying for you.

I completely understand the lack of consistency, fatigue, & no medications or treatments working. It takes a lot for me to do daily tasks as well. I suffer with chronic migraines every day, relentless. I have since I can remember. I don't catch a break, either. The migraines are so often I don't remember when I'm not in pain. It also has began to wear down my body. I get neurotoxin therapy but it only helps to an extent, & only lasts a couple weeks. My body also builds up resistance very quickly. Hoping all of us chronic migrain-ees can get answers & treatments that work for us. Best of luck to you, & everyone else. 💜

I had extreme fatigue and brain fog, got diagnosed with Binocular Vision Dysfunction after someone described their "tunnel" vision while in Walmart and i knew thats what i had from a KZfaq anecdote and driving to Vision Specialists of Michigan. Sounds like you've have it rough man. You may just want to check that avenue just in case. Good luck! My migraines are the main issue now but feeling forgetful, spacey, third person, extreme exhaustion is all much better with just new glasses.

Thankyou so much for this . I really identify and you've been very articulate in describing the real horrendous disease of intractable migraine. Really appreciate this.

Omg Geoff I relate so much with every single word you say and specially with the emotions on those words. Its a hard life where we want to have hope and we have no other options and have to just keep trying. Nothing works. I waste so much money on treatments… Thank you for making this video. It makes me feel less alone. I wish i had a friend like you in real life that could talj and understand what i go though.

Your video and opinion is very accurate. I have the same issues with migraines being just about daily. Just been on Nurtec less than 2 weeks and found it to be Amazing. Works great for me. Thank you for making this video. I am the same as you. Brain fog, then heightened genius moments, procrastination and being in constant pain all the time.

Have you looked into sleep apnea? I have recently been diagnosed with it and got a CPAP device. It really seems like it helps my hours of sleep count for more than before. I am very sensitive to sleep issues as a migraine trigger so it’s been very helpful for me in combination with Qulipta but Qulipta is causing unpleasant side effects so I’m about to give Nurtec a try.

I am in thee same boat. migraines since kindergarten, They are chronic and I also deal with anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, IBS, restless leg syndrome, brain fog and a few more things but I wont go into it all. The only medicine that has ever helped with a migraine for me is Eletriptan. I am on sumatriptan right now because my insurance will not approve the eletriptan anymore since I am now on Medicaid. Sumatriptan is slower and not as good. But It is better than nothing. I was on ajovy for a while after Aimovig. Aimovig caused weight gain and hair loss for me along with digestive problems. I had also been on a infusion that went every 3 months. It was ok but after the 2nd month I started to suffer regularly again and leaned heavily on the triptans. Insurance wont cover the infusion either. I have tried so many things that I too have given up hope. They just got me approved for Emgality because the insurance will cover it. I am afraid it will be just like AImovig. Why cant they just give us what works best for us instead of forcing the stuff that doesnt work down our throats and cause days weeks months and years of torture. My migrains decide what kind of day I will or wont have. Who I see and where I go. I am exhusted. Just wanted you to know I understand. Praying for you.

ive been getting headaches since my mid 20s. thats also when I started working out and eating everything in my path. I struggled with some brutal migrains and headache for 15 years. recently it was getting so bad I was calling off of work way to often and I was puking all the time. Literally I rather die. No one understood the suffering. I was useless. Couldnt even walk my dog. Anyway I tried ubrevely and nurtec. both worked in about 2 hours. I try NOT to take them tho because they are expensive as fuck and I rely on free samples. I really switched my nutrition up ALOT over the years. I do not eat gluten. if I do I WILL get a bad migraine. I limit my high arginine foods like nuts. I switck to mainly veggies fruits and good meat. I limit grains as much as possible. It has helped. I had to take a nurtec today about 2 hours into my work day. I felt a headache coming on right under my left eye. I didnt even want to chance it, but it never materilized. I feel your pain bro. try cutting out grains for a month

Hello, I have done an MRI recently, and the result is more headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, waking up in the middle of the night and can not go back to sound sleep 💤 , also my legs started getting stiff especially behind the knees. They did the MRI without a contrast. It has been 20 days after the MRI and I had headache once or twice every week and the dizziness is significant and is constant. Could somebody tell me if they had similar experiences after doing an MRI of the brain 🧠 and the neck, please! I do hope all of this misery is temporary, but today I feel so bad that I can not sit on the computer 💻 to check my E-mails or clean my kitchen, or cook breakfast… So I took the and made a request from my daughter to be with me and drive the car 🚗 It has been 4 hours since I took it but I am not 100% sure if the headache/pressure inside of my skull 💀 is better or only partially improved. Also has anyone been told they need to take < Hydroxycobalamine > B-12 in a form of injections 💉? I was because of MTHFR mutations. I have done 4 B-12 shots of 1 mL and I believe my headaches got a lot worse after I started doing the < Hydroxycobalamine> injections.

Have you tried detoxing for 3 weeks+? Since you take so many Sumatriptan, it might be a good idea just to try taking a long holiday from any and all meds

Yes, it didn't seem to help much if at all. Lately I've been focusing more on diet and my GI issues as those seem to be more pressing.

funny how people rather believe they have a really rare tropical disease rather then the most basic explanations. of course you think the second doctor got it right bcs he told you what you wanted to hear. idk.. how woudl you know that the second guy wasnt full of shit too? you whoel migraine explanation doesnt make much sense. im from germany and have really bad migraine 2-3 times a year and my understanding is that we dont know exactly what causes it and its an umbrella term for a family of symptoms.. headache and migraines arent the same. often i feel people describe really bad headaches not migraine. headaches are often caused by neck and back problems. but i have no clue of course whats your deal.. just wanted to offer another perpective. ps: maybe your not slow doing things, maybe other people are just way better at PRETENDING they are fast. everyone with too braincells isnt very comtable with the world in its current state. just means your not ignorant.

Well if it were labyrinthitis, his issues would have resolved over time, so the second physician's diagnosis is more likely to be the case than the first. People with vestibular migraine/migraine can have headaches or no headache at all, and dizziness/ vertigo can come and go. I also don't believe the second doctor told him what he wanted to hear - labyrinthitis would have been the preferred diagnosis as that will generally get better, and chronic migraine generally doesn't get better without some form of treatment or lifestyle changes - if they work at all. Hope that this helps give you some additional perspective on this complex and debilitating condition.

Sort of..? I take Sumatriptan 100mg tablets every other day. They help with the head pain, but make me nauseous and sometimes tired. So the benefits outweigh the costs, but not by much. I also take Promethazine for the nausea, and it seems to help a bit with the head pain as well.
