I have had continuous migraines since 1995.....nothing help except pain medication which isn't a normal help for migraines......however they had to lower the dose of medication I was on & the pain specialist who is older & was around doing his pain specialist thing before migraine meds were invented (& since I can't use migraine meds because of what they do with my heart)......he thought back & remembered an old time treatment block for migraines......IT WORKS......they use Lidocain gel on long q-tips & put them up into the back of my nose....2 20 minute treatments (started off once a week trying to break the cycle.....now down to once a month but after the major oral surgery I had done last month, it triggered the migraines so will be back to having the block done more often.....maybe every 2 weeks as I can't wear dentures.....they cause a gagging issue that I can't control by just getting used to & that triggered even more migraine pain.

I was shocked at the success that block treatment had.....I was at a pain level of 5-6 last Thursday & by friday it was 0....it's inching back up but noghint like the 5-6 I was feeling.
