I've talked in the past about having fibromyalgia and migraines. Fibro is more than a pain issue, but pain is certainly part of it. I take pain medication to help manage it. Having said that, if I can get my pain level down...

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 11 Sep 22

I've had migraines since I hit puberty. 99% of them involve head pain. I didn't get a doctor to admit that migraines were more than anything that previous doctors had told me had 'typical' symptoms. He said that a headache...

I received about 29 (but who's counting!) tiny injections of Botox for my migraines today. I always lose count of how many injections are going into my head, neck and shoulders. Sure hope the doctor's counting, lol. The needles...

After a year of having headaches every day, several times a day I was diagnosed with chronic migraines. I tried several medicines that not only didn't help, they caused some horrible side effects. Then my Neurologist started...

This isn't an infomercial, but I'm just excited it works!

I really can't believe something worked for me. A lot of you guys know I have migraines. I found something that actually gets rid of them, and it's not a prescription medication. It's all natural. I bought it because I wanted to...
