Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and treatment received so far.
I agree that you have features of chronic migraine with chronic daily headaches. You should continue with botox injections as this is the best treatment so far.
In addiiton, you can also continue melexicam.
Please eat on time, sleep adequately for 7-8 hours, avoid fasting, avoid stress, and do regular exercises. These simple measures would also help reduce migraine attacks.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
