I took my cousin to a chronic pain care center. She has very bad daily migraine headaches and she'd done all the pain meds plus alternative meds, herbals, and acupuncture.

While I waited for her, I talked to the other people and everyone else was there for chronic back pain. I don't what they got, but my cousin had cortisone shots to both sides of her neck. It only eases things for about 3 months. Any migraine help would be appreciated.

Maybe some acupuncturists are better than others.

Triptan nonresponder studies: implications for clinical practice.

Birth contol pills can cause migraines. Good luck

Did she see a good dentist? I only ask because my brother suffered from migraines for years and Doctors and dentists could not find any reason. To cut it short... he went to a new dentist who found a hairline crack inside his tooth next to the nerve, the tooth was removed and now he no longer has migraines.

I've had migraines all my life. The new Triptan drugs were a Godsend for me, I never leave home without my Zomig. Another good one is the medicine that is delivered by means of a nasal inhaler. I forget the name of it, something like Dihydroergotomine. Prayer sometimes works too. Good luck.

Just anecdotal but my niece had horrible migraines and Feverfew worked. You take it just like aspirin, when the pain starts, unlike most herbal remedies which you usually have to take for months to see any improvement. It's cheap and if it worked it would be great.
