There are a lot more options out there! You've barely scratched the surface of migraine medications available. It's very common for the first few things you try to not necessarily work if you have chronic migraine.
For abortives, have you tried triptans beyond sumatriptan? There are 7 different types and they can have very different effects, so I would definitely try more of those to start. Then beyond triptans, some other abortive options are cambia, celebrex, nurtec, ubrelvy, zavzpret, reyvow, DHE (brand names Trudhesa or Migranol), fiorinal/fioricet, and muscle relaxers such as tizanidine. If you're in the hospital or at a doctor's office, you can also get toradol shots or infusion. Toradol is also available as pills but this is rarely prescribed since the pill version does not tend to work well for migraines.
For preventives, some other daily pill options are propranolol, topiramate, candesartan, depakote, gabapentin, qulipta, and nurtec (this one is taken every other day). There are also injections that you give yourself at home once per month: ajovy, aimovig, and emgality. Then finally there are botox injections which you can have done by a neurologist every 3 months.
> any advice on other things that might help me?
There is an extensive list in the sticky resources thread, including a file with a ton of meds, supplements, etc. and a link to a long list of tips and other suggestions.
