I’m picking up my first doses right now. I’m praying this will help! I’m having 5-6 migraines a week. Does this shot hurt worse than Imitrex injections?

I have migraines 24/7.

It can be. You don’t say I’d you’re in the states but I am. If migraine interferes with your daily life apply for SSID. I did and was approved. I’ve probably unintentionally doxed myself. 😏

I've been on disability for probably 3 to 4 years. I have a couple other health issues but I don't think they are the issue. I'm in bed worthless 4 days a week on average. And to this video...I did Aimovig for at least 3 months and I did get relief but it fizzled out. I had no side effects

Yes room temperature, it should be out of the fridge at least 30 minutes, and injection at least an inch away from the belly button, can also be in your thighs

Damn this is crazy, I just had the first dose about two weeks ago. Had multiple severe headaches, on one side, per day and did the initial dose. I haven’t seen an effect yet. When did you start to feel the effects of it related to your headaches ?

@@Seth1Johnson it started working within 24 hours. I never had any side effects

This gives me hope, I have a Doctors appt @ 11:30 today and I am gonna request it for my CH, I hope this will help stop or bring down the pain.

My friend, how do you see the benefits of emgality in your pain now?

Wow !! That gives me hope ! I am at the start of a spring cluster cycle and as you know its just horrific! Any huge side effects for you ? Thats what i am nervous about

Wow ridding cluster headaches is a big deal! Good for you! How are you doing now?

It hurts for a minute but it has really helped me. And I have almost daily headaches severe migraines for 72 hours +. give it a try.

The shots not the issues it is how you do ..keep a record and see the primary if there anything unusual. Trying not bad .know yourself.

My migraine specials which is neurology and that's what they focus on said that they are not happy with the pill going through digestive system just stick with the shots even though they're painful it's temporary. I use sumatriptan shots and I love it hurts but I love it how it works and passes the digestive system same as toradol I have some of those on me to keep me from going the ER. I've been on these abort systems for years cgrp is barely been not almost about 24 days I'm not happy about it

God bless you

Anything stays in you brain is high risk than a 24 hour pill for lessing, intensity etc.. inflation is a big factor. I jeit tried Emgality had 4 days bad bad migraines had to use symmetry injection at least one toradol that I have with me and anti-nausea zofran. That including some narcotic at the end it's about the time I was on my fourth day if subsided so notice that this causes severe information I would say for a week things are okay woke up in the morning I think I was whistling like a bird and my son Wonder what you doing I think I feel happy that after a while now it's a week before the 28 days that I have to take another shot I having more migraines coming back it's like it's wearing out but it's doing a strange effect like I had an attack today I still have four more days before the next shot where I never had this before I suddenly I just couldn't handle any smells I want to go throw up but my head was not hurting that was strange it's like the opposite tell my son to watch my grandkids cuz I wanted to go throw up had a hard time opening up the foil of my zofran so I decided to give myself a tripton shot and find scissors to open the foil and I had to go find a toradol shots and sit by the toilet I broke out in the sweat which has not happened before so like I said I feel like the opposite but usually I have for migraine has happened. Told my heart doctor about it he researched it with a student nurse and about my covid shots I just had finished recently. He was not happy explained future health issues immune system etc . I feel causes inflammation upon going intot sister and wearing off I had a infusion at the Nero office first three days was horrible. I knew even before anything stays in my brain for 28 day will be bad .I am allergic to and I said academic medicines that will cause panic attack or things that relate when they used it in the emergency for migraine like a nap seen and halopertol. Had to wait for those medicines to come out of my system. Be very aware and alert of your body especially if you already have pre-existing issues. The best thing to do is abort a migraine. I had almost 7 Days in the midsummer in July here in Tennessee we had a heat index I did not want to let go. Taking steroid pills make me feel so jittery by the third day I think steroid shots are better but I needed to keep aborting and need a toradol shots and the other doctor did not on prescribe those but want me to go over to the ER for it. It's not bad to try out something but I think these particular shots are risky with some people and will cause issues that have not existed I've done a lot of reading and I have experience so I've decided not to take any more of these shots and wait for more research and time and new medicines but there's one that could put on my arm I don't know the name but I like to try on a migraine comes. Pray pray. God help us . I feel like a super person when sounds and smell heighten up so fast and strong it's horrible to experience like I become an animal with senses that I do not like does not feel good. I hated they became nauseous over my grandkids Cheerios or chips suddenly and almost wanted to go throw up today took my tripped and shot and zofran fast as possible before I was going to throw up which never happened. What is terrible us cravings hour to two before then attack you have.sweets or food in you won't digest. I should if not gave in let.the migraine show up more sip in Sprite or power aid. Wish the doctors would have me take infusions in my town cuz I have to drive about 30 miles to get infusion.. Not good I don't relax and they put me in a cold room so I'm freezing and anxiety is a little up I have to be around people and be warm at the same time have it quiet

@@delphiniapickett2934 sounds like you've been through it all. So sorry to hear that. I don't have grandchildren yet but I already feel guilty enough about telling my grown children i have to miss events due to migraine. Must be all the more emotional when it affects time with your Grands. Good luck to you and prayers you find relief soon. I am in Tennessee also. (Not a good place to be if you are a chronic pain patient like myself, but it's where I live) Lol

@@neicees I moved to Las Cruces New Mexico from one year in 2018 to 2019 and I loved it my migraines were so much better and different long as I was not in high elevation too long anything with switching weather patterns up in the mountains the patterns of the wind shift more than lower sea level. And the one there's great and steady compared to Phoenix Arizona. I like Tucson Arizona areas like that what Las Cruces New Mexico was great to live in from Walgreens I had to come back cuz I had to get next surgery and I was alone I became broke I have a lot of cousins out there but they were far from me. And I want to go live in the town of Roswell live in. But I did find out what was better for me was changing towns and State but I just can't I had all the money I would have a visiting home up there and be out there much as possible or even parts of Arizona. My poor grandkids seen something different in me so are you okay and that was irritated cuz the Cheerios smell made me so sick I had to send them a living room with my waking up my son which is his brother's children get that smell out of my room so I could go in the bathrooms I was ready to throw up like I said this medicine did a switch I never get nauseous first and ready to go throw up about severe head pain that causes me to go to the ER I don't have my toradol shot and sumatription shot. The best thing to do with the migraine is a board early and usually you have a cocktail mix the zofran anti-nausea is great to have even for head pain sometimes it helps lessen it when it's starting or other mild symptoms that are coming before head pain sometimes I just don't have head pain I know I'm getting a migraine God bless you hopefully we could tolerate Tennessee longer. It's been awfully too warm I was in Nashville yesterday and I just said wow this is way too warm I didn't have my comfortable pants my jeans are getting too hot for me but I did enjoy Indian food earlier that day and I thought this is a good day to enjoy strong smells of food went shopping in Murfreesboro where I live I got my grandkids but an hour and a half later it was a total change and switch plus I live in apartment so I have a terrible lady lives under me and she doesn't like my grandkids pounding on the floor but it's just a terrible apartment and a terrible neighbor the floor is too thin and the stress causes the migraines to come out worse but we'll try to move out my son is looking for a home in the next 6 months I love to be in the semi country be less noise and calmer for me I can enjoy the nature that helps my migraines a lot

Me too sister! I’ve suffered from horrible anxiety and nauseous. Anti emetics not even working 🤮😰

That's what I was scared of is panic attacks and it's because some medicines gives me a reaction. Like inapsinand haloperidol.. even phenergan I'll never take that crap again.

@@delphiniapickett2934 Yes we have to be careful with these medications. I've never experienced anything like this in my LIFE! & I never will after this just horrible.

@@iamkelliej Droperidol, haloperidol but you're both antipsychotic medicines the ER gave me in the past the first one give me a for sure panic attack and they suffered that year because of it all the memory notes I collected the second one was two years ago in New Mexico I did hiking the heat and I shouldn't have really but I should have took my shots but once I walk down that small mountain my head blew up and they gave me something a little different to add on with the anti-nausea and I got home and it felt like someone giving you a bad drug for 2 days I felt panicky so I know now not to take any antipsychotic drugs or phenergan nothing really strange and new I gave the cgrp one chance I'm glad I did not get a panic attack but I had other issues my cuts wouldn't heal for 3 weeks the burn in my arm I thought it was the audience strange, I felt like I was dizzy but it wasn't a real dizzy for an hour or two like is there an earthquake happening or what but it wasn't like other normal dizziness it's just noticed a few things and my migraines just creeped out the first three or four days I took the shot I almost end up in the ER had to take toradol shots I assume it chipped and shot another medicine three or four days I suffered like hell and the doctor didn't say well we're not going to have you take another one I had the feeling I smell kick back money cuz I seen other medicines there at our office in this thing you can wrap around your arm she didn't even want to talk about it but when I see her next week I'm talking to her about it does other medicines out there they call it preventative but really you can't prevent a migraine need to understand that you can reduce the days but does not mean you have a zero migraine you kept lesson migraines that means if the intensity is not as strong you're able to use abort medicine and it's able to work pretty well but it be rare to completely not have migraines for a month and those are the ones that are not chronic migrainers and they want to throw these shots out 2 mild migrainers I don't advise that I'm so sorry I have to take morphine that's a pretty strong pill or shot shots are better just to let you know nothing that digest is good I hope you zofran for migraines it's great it's just hard to get it out of the foil you have to have scissors with you and I hope your doctor will be comfortable to teach you how to use toradol shot that's a super anti-inflammatory do not take the pills I hope you can find some natural herbs you could take daily or during a migraine day cuz I'm looking into a few and a herb patch God bless I hope you enjoy this summer December Tennessee I'm not the sun's too bright lately

Something that stays in your system for a long time is risky keep a diarrhea everything thank you for posting this

@@Geoffs_Review_Corner Emgality works better for me than anything I have ever tried

I have tried probably everything with no help and this has helped me already and the only thing felt was the one min that it hurt when first injected witch is nothing compared to migraines

@@Geoffs_Review_Corner Rizatriptan is a derivative of Sumatriptan and it is much easier on your body. In other words, the heaviness and nausea for that first hour or so after you take it. I barely feel anything with Rizatriptan. However, if it's a especially, horrific migraine, I take Sumatriptan as it does work the best. Yes, Emgality hurts way more than Aimovig. It's like an ongoing shocking bite with a shock! Four months later, it's working... Less headaches.

Good luck! I hope it works for you

@@Geoffs_Review_Corner ive been on and tried many diffrent drugs and therapies. I had migraines since I was 14 years old. Im 57 now.

Geoff's Review Corner thank you so much for this! I will be on the lookout for your video and will look into that book. Your video helped just hearing someone else speak on this and like maybe my symptoms aren’t all “in my head” as I feel

For me it has basically given me crazy anxiety-it works for headaches and starts wearing off after 3 weeks but side effects include Stomach problems since week 1, feel spacey or anxiety like feeling constantly (never had anxiety really until emgality) and immune system feels bogged down. Take at own risk

Everyone's body reacts differently. Ask to switch different cgrp

it put me in bed for months, Kimberly, with overwhelming fatigue, and a continuing pressure headache, as well as pain in the base of my head, where it meets the spine. I've also lost the signal of hunger (autonomous system) and to urinate, (also autonomous). My balance was seriously effected, as well as my thinking and emotions! (Very dark thoughts...completely unusual for me!) Now, after months in bed, I've become weak and frail. I had no idea until I read emgality side effects @ drugs.com emgality reviews that the symptoms I was having were the same many others. I didn't connect them to the drug. What a mistake.... Hope you're better soon! That 'sick and tired' you're talking about IS exhausting. And the more shots (in MY experience and opinion, the worse it'll get)!

@@kathy2381 Kathy I'm so sorry to hear that...I've quit all the meds. Yes the base of my head still hurts. There are days that when I get out of the bed I feel like I'm drunk.. I still have blurry vision.. The nerve in my neck on the left side still hurts and pulls like hell. Its still hard to find a position for sleep. I have too many aches and pains to list. Yes, depressing is also visiting. I figured if the meds isn't working why continue to poison my body. You know just let me deal the best I can. I tried walking to build strength, not a good idea..I fell. I gave myself time to get over that and tried again. This time I ended up with road rash on the left side of body. And I was trying so hard to let go of my cane. All I can say Kathy is do what's best for you. I had one Dr. tell not to let anyone tell you what you do and do not feel, only you know that. I've come to terms with my new normal..The struggle real. I wish you the best of luck🥰

@@kimberlysibley8145 best to you, too :( I pray a lot...... :)

@@kathy2381 Keep record of all meds had bad reaction that us bad i read. Should not be in bed like that. See your primary doctor and refer you to a specialist they're just going to tell you not to try those type of medicines again. I'm allergic to any medicines antipsychotic even antidepressants it's horrible

But two days ago I felt like I had a strange type of light headness but not the type you would have a normal life it's like for an hour or two something just was not right and I'm due for my 28-day shot which will be my second shot I am not going any further. Scars me

I told my migraine specialist neurologist about hair loss cuz I get treatments for it she said it's not common that they don't even mention it I'm like right it's not true I've done my research no I am losing my hair taking over a year and a half and treatments with my dermatologist. I really is a pharmaceuticals are trying to make money I'm more expensive stuff than on expensive those are migraine medicines that lessen migraines are abort migraines are different is to abort a migraine if you can lessen and eliminate some of those days you still have to have abort migraine cocktails There is help it's just that you need to have a real good migraine clinic there's all so much other options that I had to pull it out of the migraine specialist cuz I would see it on the desk I go oh boy there's something to put on the on your arm. She wasn't even wanting to discuss about it I said like to try less invasive things that may help. But they always want to push for the expensive 28-day shot stays in your brain it's really not good for you in the long run I like to talk to someone who's taking it for 20 years and see how well their health is doing it's all about the money for now many of you are doing great but wait till time goes by I hope the best

Hi there. I'm in my sixties and had migraines since I was 10. They got markedly worse during perimenopause and I was hanging out for menopause when I hoped they might stop... didn't happen. My doctor worked with me on preventive options, as well as helping access the few abortive available here in New Zealand. Also I tried a Cefaly device, which for me intensified the migraines and seemed to sensitise the pain pathways. I had to resign from full time work after 6 months of purchasing the device. Our best successes have been in controlling the nausea and vomiting- Prochlorperazine and Ondansetron have been amazing, actually effective. 😂 Last year a different doctor suggested Medication Adaptation Headache, aka Medication Overuse Headache especially re use of Sumatriptan and Nurofen could be the issue behind Nortriptyline and Aimovig not having reducing effects on near daily intense migraines. I lived through much pain but did manage to come off the Sumatriptan and Nurofen for 3 months. A visit to the UK and a private neurologist got me on to Vydura/Nurtec and wow! Reduction to as few as 8 pain days per month... unfortunately not available in New Zealand so I'm trying the newly available here Emgality. I don't know the result yet, my message is: Don't give up, it's amazing to get your life back, and it is possible, even when the powers that be seem stacked against you. Vydura/Nurtec great for me but not available in my home country, still gotta keep trying! Do research the Medication Adaptation Headache issue if you're having near daily migraine type headaches though, Canada puts out some good info on this. Then find what works for you to get out of the pattern to allow new medications to have positive effects. 😊

I just started Emgality today, and got home after getting the injection to read about potential weight gain. Have you experienced this as a side effect over the last year?

Hi there i have suffered with migraines for many years and also suffer with depression. It has become such a struggle to deal with my migraines and function properly at work. I feel its just a matter of time until i get fired from my job because of the migraines. I wanted to ask how do you prove that your migraines are severe enough to be on disability. Your feedback would help more than you know. Thanks

@@louis84100 you pretty much have to prove you've done everything and are doing everything you can to do your best to get them indercontrol and the number of migraines per month makes a difference in have chronic migraine and any kind of medicine would not help me anymore or for other medical reasons could not take it I advise to get a disability lawyer to help you mine cost $6,000 and it took me almost 3 years

Ajove?

@@louis84100 keep medical records help.. I have my migraine abort meds ... And migraine meds like botox that lesson-intencity- lesson days hopefully meds. Ppl thing migraine abort medicine and migraine lesson migraine pain and days are the same they're not. If you have a good amount of medicine to help you abort you just have medicine that will help lessen the days lesson intensity but you'll still have to have migraine abort medicines. Help you stay working. A boss sympathize with you .. . If you have a neurologist that does infusions that helps too. I wonder if anyone tried working at home that has chronic migraines and been on disability cuz it's not fun being on disability

@@delphiniapickett2934 ajovy

The general consensus in my sphere of influence is that the colder the medicine is the more it hurts. I just did my monthly injection an hour ago, and it didn't hurt much at all. Last month I took one at my dr's office that had only been out if the refrigerator the minimum time called for in the instructions. This was the first time I've had one out if the refrigerator for a few days.

Doctor can prescribe pain cream to put on 20 minutes before shot.

That is scary. That not good keep. A diary anything that causes panic attacks tightness or anything

Did I continue to take the shot? How do u feel now?

Yes the Aimovg needles are much smaller. I fine Emgality hurt going into the leg and arms but injecting into the belly didn't hurt ...... as much :)

Awesome. !! Sumatriptan medicines you mentioned are abort migraine meds not . (Reducers, lessoners or lesson days of migraines).. There is a difference. I take botox and Emgality. Been 23 days. I am not doing good on Emgality. . the first three four days of the horrible migraines rather do symmetryption everyday and one time give myself a toradol shot. I take toradol shot after my sumatriptan fails after 5 minutes and top it off if I need to with narcotic I call it the cocktail including an anti-nausea zofran and ice cold pack in the back of my head or ice water and set up halfway and relax and breathe slow sometimes I believe sideways halfway sitting up. Botox is not enough but that Emgality is risky for me my heart doc not happy about it explained to me ling term risk. . I think the issue is something sitting in my brain for 28 days so if I did have a panic attack how you going to get it out but now that it's wearing out I'm having the strangest opposite migraine attack instead of getting head pain I had horrible sensitivity to smells of food and noise without head pain and I had to give myself a triptan shot and find my antennascha I had to ask my older son to watch the grandkids cuz I'm never ever had to almost run and about thinking about throwing up in the toilet without head pain and that was the strangest feeling so I was having a switch and I know I'm due for another 28-day shot the next 4 days. This is strange usually I get head pain before severe nausea. I don't know if the medicines wearing off and there's a battle between the migraine exploding and the medicine trying to hold it down but I do know when things that causes inflammation. I can always try another cgrp medicine and give it one more try. . So happy that it's working for you.

What is DHE ??

As well as joint pain, intense, almost daily head PRESSURE, Neck pain in the back of my neck, overwhelming fatigue, chest tightness... Should I go on? No appetite, but gained 20lbs on

Kathy Shiplett you got all these symptoms from the injection? If so, how long have you been using it?

I’ve gotten jaw tightness from almost every migraine med I’ve ever taken.

Now I read this one day popping. .. One day a werid light head...I was ?? Not really dizzy just weird.. I knew was the shot.

Wow, everyone is so different. I loved Aimovig, I had no migraines at all and no side effects, it's just not on the PBS here in Australia But I do agree with you about the Emgality the weight gain and hair loss and I also get VERY itchy skin

Thank God for your comment I feel alone and despondent. I’ve tried everything and I’m at the end of the road and now this is giving me extreme comstipation no laxative works on except an enema, bloating to the point I look pregnant and rapid weight gain, 8LBs in 3 weeks. No thank thanks but the constant tinnitus in my ears, exhaustion, and stomach pain is too much.

SAME HERE THE STOMACH PAIN HAD TO GO TO ED DUE TO UNBEARABLE PAIN

I would not keep taking those with s severe side effects that you mentioned...

The best thing that happens abort kit which is like a cocktail if one wasn't working you work on number two then three then you go on for trying these medicines that help lessen the days, or lessen the intensity,... And the goal hopefully is to knock out most migraines of 30 days. Some people expect to be completely gone but when I say lesson intensity does not mean your migraines not there but they're there but not as strong so you get to use milder medicines to knock it out the best thing to do with migraines is to abort it before it grows. Go down a list of what you tried like anti-seizures things like that but I'm trying cgrp but I don't like it I've been keeping notes of everything cuz it stays in me for 28 days and have other issues with my health hope you find something cuz it's horrible. If he could have infusions from your migraine special it's great I do not see a average neurologist I see a neurologist that specialize in migraines up all kinds of options God bless

What you describe but feeling weird is that causes anxiety panic attack just felt like there's a bad drug in you that means that you're having a horrible side effect know your body and keep notes of everything. They try to give me inapsine see at the emergency many many I had panic attack and and struggled the whole year. Haloperidol, I had two years ago at the ER feel like I took a bad drug for 2 days and had to take anti-flammatories until it come out of my system those are the medicines in an antipsychotic family like phenergan I won't take that with anything. If I take sumatriptan injections, toradol, zofran, narcotic ice pack in the back of my head and sit up halfway and breathe slowly don't lay completely down and that my family watch me I just don't wait till migraines grow like a monster abort it before it grows and know your body well does not hurt to try medicines that will lesson, lesson intensity, or lesson days or all three. Doctors don't really say that medicines will lessen the intensity... If they listen intensity that's an improvement that may not lessen the amount of days but if it goes to lessening amount of days and that's not bad. Don't pay medicines at your pocket there are ways that these companies can help you pay zero out of your pocket. Hope you find what helps .. no one medicine can knock out sometimes it takes one or two I'm having Botox but the doctor is trying cgrp but I'm not I'm going to knock it out cuz it's just not doing well. I tried anti-seizures which is not good for kidney stones. I tried other medicines but there's more new medicines and even patches that could put around my arm there's so much out there we don't know but when you're with the migraine specialist it's different than a neurologist. I pray you find something better and that God will heal you

Sumatriptan 100mg tablets 5-6 times a week - they're the only thing I've found after trialing ~25+ different migraine meds that help more than they hurt. I also take Promethazine 12.5mg tablets for head pain, but more primarily for nausea.

I though I was the only one suffering from horrible anxiety. I have never had anxiety before but my anxiety has reached to the point where I am so nauseous and stomach cramps sooo painful

Those are severe side effects do not take those medicine again keep a good diary it may take a while before it gets out of your body and they even take months. I found out that anything that's antipsychotic shots and gave me at the ER I was allergic to them it's because I had migraines so I make sure they don't give me anything that's an antipsychotic family

if it's not a migraine it is a bad headache. I understand . It also sucks when you want to go and do things and a headache or etc stops u.
