Your doctor is a fucking idiot. Migraine prophylaxis is often considered if you’re having more than 4 migraines a month, although I’d be interested to hear the OPs’ perspectives. You’re likely inducing medication overuse headaches with frequent Excedrin use as well, at least if you’re taking it every time you get a headache/migraine - and MOH can be a hard monster to fight.

What type of doctor are you seeing for your headaches? I would suggest getting an appointment with a neurologist who specializes in headache treatment.

No, I'm pretty sure they're both nuts. I'm a bad person, but even as former AF myself and now an AF spouse, I cannot imagine being married to someone who does EOD. My hat is off to OP and OP's wife.

Botox is not at all uncommon as a treatment for patients experiencing chronic migraine (defined as 15 or more headache days a month). However, most insurance companies will not cover Botox until you have first failed treatment with at least 3 other preventatives (such as beta blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, topiramate, or a variety of other choices). It sucks but it’s basically a money thing - they want you to try cheap preventatives before they pony up $$$ for the spendy option.

I think they might still be handling dental emergencies but I was supposed to have an appointment about a month ago for routine care. My state (WA) shut down all non-emergency dental procedures until at least sometime in May. I have no issue with that whatsoever, taking on huge levels of risk makes zero sense for non-urgent issues.

Holy shit I know right?
