Let me save you the years and money I wasted.
In 19 years I've tried sumatriptan until it gave me rebound headaches, $689-a-month Aimovig, Emgality that made my hair fall out in the shower, Botox every 12 weeks, Topamax that turned my brain to static, a Cefaly device, a daith piercing, and an elimination diet that cut out everything I love. Nothing held.
8 failures. One winner. Here's the difference. And what I wish someone had told me before I spent over $9,000.
