I have been living with headaches for 9 years. The first came at me like a sledgehammer, with aura, and no notice. I have since progressively became worse. I have been through every FDA approved prophylactic. None worked. I unknowingly started getting rebound headaches from taking too many pain meds. My doctor did not warn me about
that issue. I went through inpatient DHE 2 times. The first time was helpful, but the second time wasn't. I received Aimovig after the DHE, and than had chills and low body temperature for 6 months. The doctor never told me that chills is a side effect of aimovig. My doctor thought I had mild hypothermia. Not fun being out of commission for 6 months.
A friend of mine works at Amgen for 12 years. He has an autistic son, who could not speak during first few years of his life. My friend researched what he can do. He came across heavy metal chleation. He found a supplement called ALA-DMSA. DMSA is prescribed to children who have lead poisoning. The DMSA removes heavy metals from your body very quickly. His son was able to speak for the first time after 3 protocols.
DMSA is FA approved, but you can't get it without a doctor's prescript
ion. It will take 2-3 weeks to get to you. I would order 2 bottles at a time.
I ordered the ALA DMSA fro I started with 25mg 3 times a day for 3 days. Then 11 days off, then 3x a day for 3 days, then 11 days off again. After first protocol, the funk I was in for 9 years (probably depression from headaches and not being able to support my family, went away). I was able to work again. Total cost: $30 per bottle.
I kept following the protocol for past few months. My headache triggers are noises such as cars honking and ambulance sirens, jarring from going over pot holes or speed bumps. Most of those triggers have dissipated. This is not a prophylactic issue. It is a healing issue. I am healing for the first time in 9 years.
On a scale from 0-100, where 0 is worst I was feeling and 100 is normal, I went from 0 to 35 in 4 months of taking the ALA-DMSA. That is 3500 percent better than where I was.
I expect to be completely better in a few more months.
While taking the supplement, make sure to drink lots of water, and take a good multi-vitamin and mineral daily. Trader Joe's has a good multi vitamin and mineral for $10.
Here are some websites to look at:

Good luck to all in getting rid of your headaches. Never give up.
After taking the DMSA, instead of wallowing and waiting to die, I am now doing my best to live life as best as I can. It is a life changer.
best,
