Migraines- no improvement. Try CBD oil?

I’m at witts end. I’ve been getting migraines more and more lately and they’ve been getting increasingly worse. I have a specialist I see and I track my headaches with both frequency and severity.

Im currently on Topomax and the Ajovy once monthly. I also take Rizatriptian or Eletriptian- whichever I think will work more effectively at the time of the headache for a troubleshooting medication. I’ve been dealing with my current headache for a week now however.

Not sure what else to try. Haven’t had an MRI but my mom suggests it (I’m an adult but she thinks it would still be a good idea- she had a long history of migraines as well). Nothing has ever shown up on a MRI for her either however.

Anyway, has CBD oil helped for anyone here? I haven’t seen any studies saying it’s been proven effective. But I am looking for more clinically proven than not, before I ask my doc. I’m willing to try anything (it’s not something I’ve tried or use recreationally).

Any other suggestions as to how to get my headaches and migraines under control. Oh, I’ve also tried Phenegren injections in the nerves (nerve blocks) and Reglan, neither have really helped....

Ya I guess an MRI would be worth it. I’ve brought it up to my doc and she said usually she does that for people who have sharp migraine pain but wouldn’t be against it if I wanted one. I might call and ask for it. It wouldn’t hurt. Literally (my lame attempt at a joke?!?)
I did try the generic form of imitrex- I’ve tried a few different types of triptans- sumatrian is the generic form of Imatrex. There is Sumatriptan, Rizatriptan, and Eletriptan. The doc said sometimes one may work better than another. I guess it’s just a matter of trying to find the right one.

Headache has broken now so there has been some relief so that’s good.

Yea maybe I’ll mention it. I actually just requested to go off Topomax bc a) I don’t think it’s helping and b) it’s causing me issues with word association- I can’t think of the words I’m looking for. It’s only been a week and so far so good.

My next appt with my headache doc isn’t until April. Worth asking for an MRI sooner?

I would get the MRI

also find a nutritionist and discuss your eating habits. Diet can have an effect on migraine.

Lack of potassium and zinc for example.

Peace and strength
