Hi, Everyone

Migraine Headaches

It’s very early here on the west coast and I was awakened by another migraine…ugh. My Neurologist has put me on a new migraine medication called Ubrelvy. My question is how many of you suffer from migraines, which medication do you use or not use? I’ve been told that it is part of AS. I also use ginger and peppermint in my oil diffuser. Thank you in advance for answering!
