New neurologist different treatment approach

Chloe saw a different neurologist, his area of expertise is in adult neurology,neuromuscular and neurophysiology.Chloe discussed with him the burning scalp on the left side of her head, One
eye unable to open the eye lid  for a period of time while having a migraine and the throbbing of her forehead on the left side and uneven eyes or face distortion when these headaches are occurring. Also waking up between 5am and 7am with throbbing pain in her head and goes back to bed after getting a muscle relaxer and topical pain relief placed on her forehead.

He gave her a preventive therapy to reduce migraine frequency. Chloe headaches were not responding to acute treatment so sometimes preventive medication works better. He gave her a low dose to be taken at bed time.
We have seen steady improvement she is in less pain sleeping through the night. If she has a headache it seems much less intense so far.
She saw an eye doctor this week. He actually felt her eyes have improved and no side effects noted from the use of this medication.
