Eptinezumab vs GALCANEZUMAB-GNLM

I’m currently participating in the open-label trial of Biohaven’s abortive CGRP antagonist - rimegepant. For background, I participated in Alder’s blinded, placebo-controlled preventative anti-CGRP antibody trial (eptinezumab) about a year ago and am still not sure if I received placebo or drug. Als

Greetings from the Will Erwin Headache Research Center, Thank you for being a part of our research. Our study team here at Will Erwin Headache Research Center would like to provide you with an annual update regarding our progress with your data in the year 2023. As of this January, we have 1 acti

As the title says, I finally have reached the end of the waiting list to see a neurologist on the NHS. I previously got to the end of the queue right as Covid hit and all hospital appointments were cancelled. I’ve had chronic migraines all my adult life and have tried every medication available in t

Story Time: For the past 2 and a half years I've been experiencing head pains that started as quick, short second long pains and slowly evolved into persistent prolonged periods of pain where it lasts for between 1 and 60 minutes of varying intensity. (Possibly unimportant: I cannot remember

What have you tried, what is your experience with them and which do you prefer? What is the difference between the tablets and injections (other than being different but very similar medications)? Are the side effects and risks different? I can't find anywhere comparing the two, other than injection

Nothing much more to say, I am just so f*cling sick of this!!! I know everyone here can relate. My migraine attacks only became chronic in the last year and a half so I can’t even imagine how those of you who have had chronic migraine your whole life feel—it’s a hell unlike anything I could ever ima

I am a 74 yo retired MD in the US and have had chronic migraines for over 40 years. I would like to share my opinions about preventatives. This is not medical advice. My own neurologist told me that the more time you spend in "migraine land" the more likely it is that your brain gets used to it and

I'm so frustrated about the visit I had with my general practitioner this morning. It was just a yearly checkup with the GP, she doesn't manage my migraines. I go to a neurologist for that. My GP was asking about my migraines and I was explaining to her what symptoms I get. Light and sound sensitivi

Hi! Just wanted to share my story in case it gives someone an "aha"-moment, I know we are all different but hopefully it helps someone. Some backstory first, I'm almost 40 now and I've had a lot of headaches my entire life, I inherited migraines from my mother but I didn't really start to get mind

There's been some movement in the CGRP market since the release of [Aimovig](https://www.aimovig.com/). At this point I'm sure some of us have tried and moved on from Aimovig and are anxiously awaiting the next med to try (me included). Unsurprisingly, it looks like that next thing may be another CG

To preface, I am a pharmacy technician that submits prior authorizations for specialty medications. Yesterday, I got a message from a pharmacy stating that they needed to speak to the prescriber because they needed to "educate" us on how to properly prescribe this medication (Emgality). As I am the

So I’m preparing for my BCACP and using high yield med reviews. I’m finding myself questioning the value of this course. The presenter is a doctor in emergency medicine. Good presenter, but the focus seems to be on IV meds and emergency medicine a lot and not ambulatory care the way I expect to be t
