i found relief after 25 yrs of migraines, the last 3 yrs were daily migraines !

I have been a reader of this site for over six years , but never posted anything because I felt to ill or had nothing but more stories of misery to add. I am an Rn , 25 yrs, had access to the "A" team of dr.'s did everything from acupuncture, chiropractors,( 9 years of various ones, and treatments), all the differnent preventative medications and abortives , holistic medicine, vitamins, bioidentical hormones,extensive psycho therapy and several extensive procedures with a pain specialist including radio frequency ablation. My life has been a roller coaster of 3 good months and 6 bad, I respond poorly to the meds, so I just have to ride the migraines out. For the past 2 years they were daily and I was basically bedridden. i have been working closely with pain specialist , who was also a colleague, I had greatly admired and respected. I was all set to begin the process to check in to John Hopkins and my pain dr. went to a conference and was reminded of a simple procedure that is old and easy and he had forgotten about it. It has actual been in use since the 1930's. It was easy, narcotic free, and I think will be relatively cheaper than the extensive other things I have had done. I just had to share this with so many of you that are suffering in case it would be of any benefit, IT WAS SUCCESSFUL AND I AM ON MY 10TH DAY PAIN FREE. The procedure is called a sphenopalatine ganglion block. It is an intranasal instillation of lidocaine into the sphenopalatine area, which is a huge plexus of nerves the largest to be found, outside of the brain. It must be done by a pain specialist, just google it and tons of info comes up. Not alot on how long it will last, we are just seeing how I do, but it is easy to repeat, some dr.s have patients that self administer at home, there is also a more permanent approach which involves ablating the area. I hope this can be of help to someone out there. I have missed so much of my life due to these headaches and the affects on families is so destructive. I am 46, I feel like I got my life back and now I am just waiting to see how long the relief lasts.Good luck to all. If I can assist anyone in anyway just email me. Good luck.
