    Hi Rosemary,

    I can vouch for these type of migraines, they are absolutely aweful, so I can sympathise with you entirely!  If you have tried Botox the next thing to try is Flunarizine.

    Not everywhere has it, but check with your Neurologist he should supply them.

    Good luck Rosenary and let us know how you get on.

    Best wishes and take care

    Hi Rosemary,yes I get these type which have got worse as I've gone through the menopause.Ive also developed allergic reactions to medications and some food types and all perfumed products.Whether this is due to the menopause or an overload of different drugs used to try to relieve my migraines,I don't know.Botox did nothing for me and I'm now on mirtazapine,which is not a nice experience but I have to stick with it for at least 6 weeks.My only suggestion is to not give up and research as much as you can online and keep pestering your Dr or Neurologist until you find something that gives you a reasonable quality of life.Good luck x
