My favorite annoying quote from a book is once you have migraines figured out, they change. I had one solution that worked, it stopped, switched, rinse and repeat.
I get lightning shocks in my head at times, it’s not great. Long list of tried and failed medications. Almost everything on the list 0. Seems different for everyone. X drug works for some then causes memory loss for others.
If you have over 15 migraines per month, you can get Botox every 3 months. It lasts 1-3 months for me with an average of 2. Lasts meaning 1-3 per week. Not lasts means near daily migraines. $2-3k without insurance and it’s about 40 painful shots. Supposedly 2/3 people refuse Botox due to side affects (droopy eye 1/50 chance) or injection pain. Migraines are worse than 40 shots.
The new cgrp migraine prevention versions are available and highly advertised. You need to fail 2-3 classes of drugs to get approval depending on insurance and the syringes are currently hard to get but they last one month with a self subcutaneous injection.
Herbs: haven’t had much luck with anything except menthol variants and smelling/rubbing it on temples which is backed by a few papers.
The people I talk to usually say they used to get migraines then got divorced and they went away. Changed jobs to be less stressful led to less migraines.
Getting sick, weather changes, being overheated, pressure changes barometric/altitude, and not sleeping well causes more migraines. Food triggers led me nowhere.

My neurologist told me that living like a hermit was the best migraine preventative. Simply never leave your cave, don't change your routine ever, don't go places with different weather, etc. Of course that wasn't meant to be taken literally, but I've definitely noticed that any significant change to my routine can result in migraine.
