Experiences with CGRP inhibitors and nerve blocks for migraine management

[EdwardB]

I've suffered from chronic migraines for years, and while my current preventative medication reduces the frequency, I still get debilitating attacks that my abortive triptan often fails to stop completely. My neurologist recently mentioned newer treatment options like CGRP inhibitors and nerve blocks, but I'm hesitant due to cost and potential side effects. For others who have explored these newer avenues, what has been your experience with their effectiveness and accessibility, and how did you navigate the decision-making process with your doctor to find a balance between breakthrough relief and long-term management?
