Any tips or advice for managing headaches and migraines?

I have been experiencing a new bad symptom of headaches and migraines for the past month that have changed my life a whole lot for the negative. I will be contacting my doctor about this, however I do not want to take strong pain killers or steroids. Pain killers make you groggy which I already get from MS and seizure meds. I like being active as much as my body allows it. What are my alternatives if any?

  1. Hi Lina. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this, but glad to hear you will be talking to your doctor. We have a little more information about MS and migraines here: https://multiplesclerosis.net/living-with-ms/migraines-and-ms/. Also, we recommend checking out our sister site Migraine.com: https://migraine.com. What works for one person, might not necessarily work for another but here you can find some more information about the available treatments. We hope you find relief very soon!
