Joia ad: Je me retrouve enfin 💜

I came home from nursing school clinicals on a Tuesday afternoon with a flash card, a quiz the next morning, and the answer my mother had been looking for since I was three years old. My name is Megan. I am studying nursing at the University of Pittsburgh. I am also the daughter of a woman who has spent the last nineteen years of her life — most of which has been my life — pressing her fingers at the same three points on her face every time a Migraine started. My mom Linda is 52. She teaches AP English at the high school I went to. She started having Migraines a few months after I turned two. I do not have a memory of her without them. I want to tell you the medication list my mother has been through, because if you have been through anything close to it I want you to know somebody is reading it and feeling the same way I did when I finally sat down and wrote it out. Excedrin Migraine, four to five times a week, for years. Until her neurologist told her she had Medication Overuse Headache and the painkillers themselves were part of the cycle. Topamax for twelve years. She forgot the names of her own students. She forgot the title of a Shakespeare play she had been teaching for a decade. She came off it. Propranolol. Her blood pressure dropped so low she fainted at my high school graduation in 2022. She came off it. Amitriptyline. She gained thirty pounds and slept fourteen hours a day. She came off it. Triptans worked for a few years and then stopped. Botox at thirty-one injection sites across her forehead, temples, and neck every twelve weeks. Eight rounds. My dad drove her to the appointments because she could not drive afterward. And as of fourteen months ago, a CGRP inhibitor that costs $720 a month before insurance. Her copay is $35. Her insurance pays the rest. The CGRP brought her Migraine days down from twelve a month to eight. Her neurologist called that a "meaningful clinical response." Eight Migraine days a month was the response they were calling meaningful. I came home for spring break in March. I had a clinical anatomy exam on Tuesday morning of that week. I was on my mom and dad's back porch with my flash cards on Wednesday at 4 p.m. My mom was in the chair across from me reading the New York Times and pressing her right temple absently. I was holding up a card with the trigeminal nerve on it. V1, V2, V3. The three branches. The diagram showed the nerve running through the temples, behind the ears, and down to the base of the skull. My mom looked over at the card. She said "What's that nerve called." I told her. Trigeminal. Largest cranial nerve in the face. Three main branches. Runs through the temples, behind the ears, base of the skull. She said "I have never heard that word before in my life." I am going to say what I said next exactly as I said it because I have replayed it in my head a hundred times. I said "Mom. That is the nerve causing your Migraines. That is literally the first thing they teach us about Migraine in school." She set down the newspaper. I want you to understand what was happening in my chest right then. I am a second-year nursing student. My mother had been to four neurologists in nineteen years. Each one of them had spent years and around $200,000 of training to learn what to call that nerve. Not one of them had said it to her. I pulled out my laptop and I sat on the back porch with my mother for the next three hours and I walked her through what I had been learning in clinicals. The trigeminal nerve becomes sensitized in Migraine sufferers. It begins firing 20 to 40 minutes before any pain. That is what nursing school calls the prodrome window. The aura. The slight pressure. The strange smell. The mood drop my dad had been telling me about for years. By the time my mom felt the pain, the nerve had been firing for almost an hour. By the time she took an Excedrin or a Sumatriptan, the pill needed another 45 minutes to absorb through her stomach, cross her bloodstream, and reach the trigeminal pathway. By the time the medication arrived, the storm was already over the house. I told her every medication she had been on worked downstream of that cascade. Triptans constrict blood vessels after the cascade has already triggered them. CGRP blockers neutralize a signaling protein after it has been released. Botox interrupts pain signal transmission, not nerve initiation. Topamax sedates the central nervous system at the cost of cognition. Then I told her about Medication Overuse Headache. Taking Triptans more than ten days a month, or Excedrin more than fifteen, trains the trigeminal nerve to fire more easily. My mom said "Megan. I was on Excedrin three to four times a week for six years." I said "I know, Mom." My dad came out onto the porch around 7 p.m. He had been making us dinner. He saw both of us sitting there with our hands in our laps. He said "What happened." My mom said "Our daughter knew the answer." That night after dinner, I showed my mom a paper my anatomy professor had referenced in lecture two weeks earlier. A research letter by a neurologist named Dr. Fiora Laurent. Dr. Laurent has been writing for years about topical access to the trigeminal nerve at the three points where it surfaces closest to the skin. Temples. Behind the ears. Base of the skull. 2 millimeters under the surface. Topical reaches the nerve in 90 seconds — no 45-minute stomach detour. Dr. Laurent had built a roll-on around five ingredients. Magnesium glycinate. Wild peppermint. Menthol crystals. Chamomile. Feverfew extract. It was called Florus. I ordered a bottle for my mom on her phone that night before I went back to school. I have been getting weekly updates from her since. Week 1: she caught two prodromes with it. Neither became a full Migraine. She said the cooling "reached deeper than skin." Week 2: she caught three. All three stopped. Week 4: she stopped carrying Excedrin in her purse for the first time since 2009. Week 8: my mom went to her own school's spring concert. She had been the AP English teacher who sat in the back near the door for the last seven years because she always assumed she would have to leave halfway through. She sat in the third row this time. She stayed for the whole concert. Last week she called me at school. She had been to her neurologist follow-up. The neurologist had pulled up her log, looked at the numbers, and asked her what she had changed. My mom told her — about the trigeminal nerve, the prodrome window, the application points, the topical formula. The neurologist closed the chart and said "keep doing what you are doing." My mom said she did not bring up the fact that this neurologist had been treating her for seven years without saying the word trigeminal. She said she did not have the heart for it. I am writing this because there is somebody reading this whose mother has been on the same medication carousel mine has and has also never heard the word. I am not your nurse. I am not anybody's nurse yet. I am a 21-year-old in my second year of school who happened to be on my mom's back porch with the right flash card. I am going to tell you what I told my mom. The trigeminal nerve is real. The prodrome window is real. The application points are real. The mechanism is in every nursing school curriculum in the country and somehow it is not in most of the neurology appointments my mom has sat in. 7,405 five-star reviews. 90-day money-back guarantee.

I passed my anatomy exam on the Tuesday morning. My professor wrote "keep going, you're a natural" at the top of the exam. I am going to be a nurse in two years. My mother does not have to wait that long anymore. P.P.S. I want to warn you about something my pharmacology professor mentioned in lecture last week. There are knockoffs of Florus on Amazon that look almost identical to the real bottle. They use synthetic peppermint fragrance oil. They do not contain therapeutic-grade magnesium glycinate or real feverfew extract. My professor said two of his own family members had tried the cheap version, decided it did not work, and almost did not try the real one. The real Florus is only sold on the official site. The link above is the right one, I just checked it before posting.

It started seventeen days after my root canal. It runs through my temple, behind my eye, into my upper jaw. It is the nerve nobody connected to my dental procedure for three years and twelve specialists. I am 52 years old. I am a retired second-grade teacher. I taught at the same elementary school in northeast Ohio for twenty-nine years before I hung it up at the end of the 2020 school year. My husband Bill and I have been married for twenty-seven years. We have two grown kids and one granddaughter named Hazel who is in kindergarten. I had a root canal on my upper right second molar on a Tuesday afternoon in March 2021. The dentist was young. He had just opened in the strip mall across from the Kroger. He was professional. He was friendly. He told me I might have some soreness for a few days. Seventeen days later I woke up with pressure behind my right eye and I never woke up without it again until last spring. I am writing this because I have been reading comments under other Migraine ads on this exact platform and I have seen, in the last month, twelve different women describe what happened to me. A woman named Bobbi said her trigeminal nerve had been damaged by a young dentist filling a tooth and she had been to twelve doctors for 3.5 years. A woman named Shannon said hers started right after a tooth was pulled. A woman named Helen said hers started with a tooth implant. A woman named Melinda said hers started after her wisdom teeth came out — and now flares for weeks every time she gets a regular cleaning. A woman named Angela had a root-canaled tooth extracted last year and her daily headaches stopped after twenty years. I see all of you. I have been one of you for three years and ten months. I am going to tell you what I learned at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday in February of this year that changed everything for me. But first I want to walk you through what those three years looked like, because I think there is a woman reading this who is somewhere inside that walk right now. Months 1 to 3: I went to my primary care doctor. She thought it was a sinus infection. Antibiotic. Steroid nasal spray. CT scan came back clear. ENT referral. ENT looked in my nose, my ears, my throat. Sinuses perfect. Months 4 to 12: I went to my dentist twice asking if the root canal could be related. Both times he told me root canals do not cause Migraines. He showed me the X-ray. He told me the tooth was healing well. My primary care referred me to a neurologist. The neurologist diagnosed me with chronic Migraine and tried Topamax. I forgot the names of authors I had been recommending to my second graders for fifteen years. I came off it. Months 13 to 24: Propranolol. My blood pressure dropped so low I almost fainted in the Wegmans dairy aisle. Amitriptyline. I gained twenty-two pounds and slept fourteen hours a night. TMJ specialist who told me my jaw alignment was "unremarkable." Chiropractor. Oral surgeon who told me there was no nerve damage visible on imaging. Months 25 to 36: A headache specialist at a major teaching hospital put me on Botox at thirty-one injection sites every twelve weeks. Bill drove me to every appointment. Five rounds. Nothing changed. A CGRP inhibitor at $720 a month before insurance. My copay was $35. My Migraine days dropped from twenty a month to fifteen. He called that a meaningful clinical response. He did not ask me about my root canal. Months 37 to 46: A psychiatrist. He told me kindly that some of what I was describing sounded like somatic anxiety. He started me on a low-dose SSRI. I came off it after eight weeks because it made me feel like I was floating an inch above my own body. A second neurologist who told me I had "migraine brain." Just like that. As if my brain itself was the problem. Twelve doctors over the four years. Close to $14,000 out of pocket on copays, specialists, imaging, and medications. Bill and I had stopped taking vacations. I had stopped my retired-teacher tutoring. I had stopped reading for more than ten minutes before the pressure forced me to put the book down. And nobody, not one of the twelve, ever once said the word "trigeminal" to me. I want to tell you what happened in February. I was scrolling Facebook on a Tuesday evening. I came across a Migraine ad. I almost scrolled past it. I scroll past Migraine ads constantly. What stopped me was the comments underneath. I read Bobbi's. I read Shannon's. I read Tiffany's. I read Angela Place Williams' comment about the daily headaches stopping after she had her root-canaled tooth removed. I read Melinda's about the wisdom teeth and the cleanings every three months. I sat on my couch and I cried for the first time in months. Then I read the ad those comments were under. It was a long story about a woman who had been having Migraines for fourteen years and who had finally learned about a nerve called the trigeminal. The largest cranial nerve in the face. Three branches. V1 ran through the forehead and the eye area. V2 ran through the cheekbones — and this is the part where I stopped breathing — the upper jaw and the upper teeth. V3 ran through the lower jaw, the lower teeth, and the temple. The upper second molar that had been root-canaled in March 2021 sits in the V2 maxillary branch territory of the trigeminal nerve. I went down a research rabbit hole that lasted until 2 a.m. Here is what I learned. The trigeminal nerve is the largest cranial nerve in your face. It has three main branches. V1 runs through the forehead and the sinuses. V2 runs across the cheekbones and innervates the upper teeth. V3 runs along the lower jaw and the temple and innervates the lower teeth. All three branches converge at the brainstem. Dental procedures — root canals, extractions, wisdom teeth removal, implants, and in some chronic cases even routine cleanings — can cause or trigger sensitization of the V2 or V3 branch nearest the affected tooth. Once that nerve becomes sensitized, it begins firing 20 to 40 minutes before you ever feel pain. That is called the prodrome window. The aura. The pressure starting behind one eye. The faint nausea. The mood drop. All of it is the nerve cascade beginning to fire. By the time you feel pain, the nerve has been firing for almost an hour. And here is what made me sit on my kitchen floor at 1 a.m. with my hands over my face — every single medication I had been on for three years worked downstream of that cascade. Triptans constrict blood vessels AFTER the cascade has triggered them. CGRP blockers neutralize a signaling protein AFTER it has been released. Beta blockers slow the whole nervous system to dampen reactivity but don't touch the cascade itself. Botox interrupts pain signal transmission, not nerve initiation. Topamax sedates the entire central nervous system into firing less, at the cost of my cognition. Excedrin and Sumatriptan? Both have to be swallowed, absorbed through the stomach, cross into the bloodstream, and reach the trigeminal pathway. That process takes about 45 minutes. By the time the pill has finished its journey, the storm has already arrived. And worse — and this is the part nobody told me — using Triptans more than ten days a month, or Excedrin more than fifteen days a month, trains the trigeminal nerve to fire more easily, more often, with smaller triggers. It is called Medication Overuse Headache. It is in the International Classification of Headache Disorders. It is real, it is documented, and I had been doing it for three years. The medications I had been taking to stop my Migraines were the reason I had been having more of them. I kept reading. I needed to find what actually addresses the trigeminal nerve in the prodrome window — and specifically what reaches a nerve that has been sensitized by a dental procedure. That's how I found Dr. Fiora Laurent. She is a neurologist who has Migraines herself. She has been writing for years about something almost no other neurologist talks about — and almost no dentist will mention. Topical access to the trigeminal nerve at the three points where it sits closest to the skin. The temples. Behind the ears. The base of the skull. At those three points, the nerve sits roughly 2 millimeters below the surface. A topical compound can reach it in seconds. It doesn't pass through the stomach. It doesn't enter the bloodstream. It calms the nerve at the source, in the prodrome window, before the storm becomes the storm. She had built a roll-on around five ingredients chosen specifically for trigeminal calming. Magnesium glycinate. Wild peppermint. Menthol crystals. Chamomile. Feverfew extract. It was called Florus. I want to be honest with you about something. Florus is not going to reverse whatever happened to the V2 branch of my trigeminal nerve in March 2021. The dental trauma is years behind me. What Florus does is calm the chronically sensitized nerve at the three surface application points. It addresses the cascade. Not the original injury. For a nerve that has been firing in a sensitized state for three years, that calming is what I had been looking for. I ordered a bottle on my phone before Bill went to bed that night. I want to tell you what happened next without exaggerating. The bottle arrived two days later. That Saturday morning I felt the familiar pressure starting behind my right eye around 10. Three years of muscle memory said reach for the Sumatriptan. I reached for Florus instead. Temples. Behind both ears. Base of the skull. Sat down at my kitchen table. Within 90 seconds I felt the cooling reach somewhere deeper than skin. The pressure stopped escalating. The shimmer faded. I sat there for forty minutes waiting for the storm. It never came. That had never happened to me in three years. Week 1: three prodromes, all caught at the first sign, none developed into full Migraines. Week 2: two prodromes, both caught, both stopped. Week 3: one Migraine broke through during a barometric drop. Caught it at a 4 instead of an 8. Week 4: I stopped carrying Sumatriptan in my purse for the first time since 2021. Week 8: I had two Migraine days that month. Both managed. Neither destroyed a day. Hazel had her end-of-year kindergarten program on a Tuesday morning and I sat in the third row and watched her sing. It has now been six months. My Migraines this month: one. Caught in the prodrome. Worked through the afternoon. I went to a regular dental cleaning two weeks ago — the first one since I had started Florus. Old me would have braced for a week of flares afterward. I had a one-day low-grade headache that I caught at the first sign. It never developed. I want to tell you one more thing. Last week I went back to my headache specialist for a follow-up. He pulled up my Migraine log. He asked what changed. I told him. About the root canal. About the seventeen days. About reading the comments. About the trigeminal nerve. About the V2 branch that runs through the upper jaw. About the prodrome window. About the 45-minute absorption gap. About the Medication Overuse cycle. About the topical formula. He sat there for a long moment. Then he said "Janet. I'm going to make a note in your chart. I want to start asking my new intake patients about recent dental procedures." He closed my chart. If you are reading this and you have been on the rotation for years. If your neurologist has stacked four medications on top of each other. If you have tried Botox or are about to. If you have started a CGRP inhibitor and are not sure it's working. If you have been quietly using Excedrin or Triptans more often than you tell your doctor. If your Migraines or your daily headaches or your unexplained jaw pain started after a root canal — or after a tooth extraction, or after wisdom teeth, or after a tooth implant, or after a filling, or for some of you, after a routine cleaning. If a doctor has told you that you have "migraine brain." If you have been told it might be anxiety. If you are just so over it already. I am not going to tell you to stop your medications. I am not your doctor. I am not your dentist. I am going to tell you the trigeminal nerve is real. The V2 and V3 branches that innervate your teeth are real. The chronic sensitization that can follow dental trauma is real. The 2-millimeter skin-to-nerve distance at the three application points is real. The article below walks through the mechanism in detail — with the research and the 5 reasons the neurologist who built this recommends it for the exact pattern I had. 7,405 five-star reviews. 90-day money-back guarantee.

You lose nothing except, hopefully, the Sumatriptan subscription you have been on too long. 👉 https://florusrelief.com/blogs/news/every-migraine-tool-you-have-works-downstream-of-the-source-here-is-what-works-at-it P.S. I went back to the original Facebook ad I read in February. I scrolled down to Bobbi's comment — the one with the 34 reactions. I wrote a reply telling her she was the reason I had finally figured out what was happening to me. She replied four days later. She had ordered her bottle the same week I had. She is six weeks in. Her trigeminal pain has dropped from a 7 most days to a 2. She told me she has been on the verge for two years of asking a biological dentist to extract the tooth her young dentist filled. She is going to wait a little longer before she decides. P.P.S. There are cheap roll-ons on Amazon that look almost identical to Florus. They use synthetic peppermint fragrance oil and call it Migraine relief. They don't contain therapeutic-grade magnesium glycinate or real feverfew. They smell nice and do nothing for the nerve. Several of us in the original comment thread have warned each other about them. The real Florus is only sold on the official site. The link above is the right one. I just checked it before I posted this.
