I agree with @urocklive1.bsky.social. I also am a long-term sufferer. I would recommend if you have these over the long term, to find a headache specialist. That would be a neurologist who has done a fellowship in headache medicine. They then specialize in treating only headaches.
P.S. the Nurtec would be “prophylactic” if your insurance would not pay for both. Your doctor might suggest taking it every other day or something like that.
These also can be taken in conjunction with Nurtec if your insurance will cover them both simultaneously. Your doctor needs to write for them together as one abortive and one prophylactic.
Prescriptions: Sumatriptan nasal or a pill called Treximet (Sumatriptan with Naproxen).
If you’re seeing this, congrats! You didn’t make the "Rapture" cut either. Looks like it’s just us running Earth’s after-party. I’ll be turning the Rapture leftovers into existential dread and questionable memes.

Just left the press conference with Epstein and Maxwell survivors on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

Don’t let Trump gaslight you: the corruption is real and we need full transparency and justice.

This happened live on the show today. Independent journalist Jorge Ramos caught up with a pregnant U.S. citizen who told us she was roughed up and arrested by federal agents during a detainment near Los Angeles. Watch!
I am going to read this. Thank you so much for sharing.
I haven’t read it. Thank you for putting it on my radar.

We stand with you as you stand with your neighbours. Americans are showing soul and community.

What Trump is doing is unnatural to America. We see that clearly because of how Americans are rallying to protect their neighbourhoods from ICE thugs on power trips. Stay strong, guys. 🇺🇸♥️
