I have a headache disorder and couldn’t do school or work for two years. Nothing worked and I ended getting a neurostimulator implanted in my head and I’m actually a functioning human again. I’ve had it for 4 years now and I’m about to graduate college.

Some form of remote work or job that you can do on your own with minimal noise and human interaction.

Have you tried or talked to your drs about Botox? It’s the only thing that helped after 10 years of struggling

If you haven’t gotten checked by a neurologist I strongly reccomend it I ended up having migraines constantly saw one ended up with a brain tumor I take an emgality injection once a month along with two other medications I can probably look for later today and mention the names

Are you comfortable explaining what you got/ how it helped? I've genuinely never heard of Botox ever being used for anything other than aesthetics so I'm really curious
