needle for migraines has it helped you ? how does the procedure work ? any info would be great .

Do you mean Accupuncture? or Botox? or something else?

i have suffered from frequent migraines, many severe ones, since i was a young child. A few years ago I learned where Vitamin B12 could possibly help with them. I started getting a monthly 1 ml injection of Vitamin B12, and the results have been unreal. I went from having regular migraines requiring migraine medication, to having an occassional headache that is easily managed. I know it may not work for everyone, but why not inquire about giving it a try.

Were you tested for a b12 deficiency? Just curious because I’ve heard things about b12 being helpful but is that only if migraines are caused by low b12? My b12 levels are fine, but I have difficult to control, frequent migraines.  
 
And to the OP, do you mean the monthly biologic shots? I tried them. Honestly, they made me feel worse in other ways aside from the migraines. I think if I was able to tolerate them longer than I did they would have helped a lot though.

Yes, I was tested for B12 deficiency. I do not recall what my level was, but I know I was a little low. We decided to try Vitamin B12 , and it definitely provided excellent results! I have never taken the pill form, so cannot comment if it would have worked as well as the injections have. Good luck at finding some relief for your migraines.

Are you talking about toradol shot for acute relief of migraines? When I went through it I went to walk in, explained my symptoms and received a toradol shot it cost me $10.00 out of pocket. This does not mean that they will give you one, it’s up to the doctor do decide if you need it or would be okay with a dissolvable tablet that tastes minty.
