Migraine Headaches Support Group

I dont have advice but I go through the same thing I will get a migraine when its gone that pain comes back and stays FOREVER...literally! I think I have had that constant pain running from my neck up the back of my head (behind my ear) and stops right at my eye!

Sometimes this is just as bad as a migraine because it never really seems to go completly away!! I was just diagnosed with Narcolepsy w/ Cataplexy and the meds i take for that help with my Migraines more than the meds I have tried for the migraines them selves! Sorry I couldnt be of better help!!!

Thank you for responding and you have my sympathy if you go through what I go through every day of your life then you know its not much fun. I hope we both eventually find some relief.

I had myofascial pain too. I'm on muscle relaxers. I had also been receiving myofascial therapy, and was making some progress - but there came a point where co-pays just weren't in the budget.

Some headache specialists are combining Baclofen (which is part anti-spasmodic....but also works on GABA receptors so it can help pain that way) with Tizanidine (zanaflex).

I was on muscle relaxers as well..and do have to say that they were very helpful (They were perscribed for my TMJ). So it killed two birds with one stone.

I am no longer aloud to take the muscle relaxer because of my Narcolepsy/Cataplexy and the meds I take for it...so that is a set back!

For my myofacial pain I use a combo of things-
Physical therpay was extremely helpful, until my insurance stopped paying for it:(
Bite splint therapy seems to work well-
I use muscle relaxers when things get really bad-
believe it or not, yoga helps-
It took me quite some time to find the right combination of treatment for my pain.
I hope that helps- good luck:)
