Migraine treatment is not one-size-fits-all, and finding what helps can take time, patience, and a lot of trial and error.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Sara Batchelder, who has lived with migraine for more than 30 years, including two decades of chronic daily migraine. Together, we explore the realities of living with migraine while navigating the maze of treatment options.

We talk about:

  • Treatments we’ve tried and why results can vary so much
  • How tracking symptoms and identifying thresholds can help (and when it can backfire)
  • Why symptoms like brain fog and fatigue are often overlooked
  • How life stages, hormones, and other health conditions can impact migraine
  • Why progress is rarely a straight line and what helps us keep going

If you’ve ever felt confused, frustrated, or alone in your treatment journey, this conversation will remind you that you still have options.
