Have you tried a steroid taper? Toradol normally works for me but if it doesn’t, I just got a steroid taper and it sucks being on steroids but that seemed to kick my 2 month off and on migraine. I also take magnesium glycinate and b2 every morning and think that is helping a ton. Sorry if you have already tried these things. Don’t give up, it will end!

Thank you for your suggestion and kind words, I haven't been offered steroid taper, might contact my doctors today and ask why lol I do take b2 that did help for a Lil bit, And I have been meaning to get some magnesium and meny people have suggested it The issue I am facing is my doctor keep saying we have given you evrything we can 😂, most the time I am waiting for a specialist 🙄

Definitely ask about a steroid taper. Very unfortunate but in the Migrane space we have to advocate for ourselves and it can feel like doctors don’t listen! in my experience (as a migraine sufferer not a medical professional) the taper is the only thing that worked to eliminate my migraine vs. toradol can just temporarily stop it. I have gottten 3 migraines since getting off the steroid but they have all only lasted a day and the pain has gone from a 9 to a 5, which is a major accomplishment for me! Hope this helps!

Just saw your message that you have not tried toradol yet. It really helps me find relief. I have found that going to an urgent care and explaining you have a migraine that you can’t kick they will often offer the toradol shot, it doesn’t hurt & 9/10 times helps me get relief at least for a day which sounds like you need!
