Hello everyone! It only occurred to me today the there should be a Reddit group for people with migraine. I’m a family doctor from Chile (excuses for my English!), and I’ve suffered migraines for most of my life. I’ve tried pretty much every single preventive medication. Currently I’m with a monthly
Hi guys! I have this list of things to try (some I’ve!) and I thought I’d share. I included some of the usual stuff, because you never know what can help someone else! :) Please feel free to share your experiences with any of these/ to add some more if you want to! Take - Magnesium - Feverfew - But
So I noticed that aimovig is called erenumab-aooe. The last part of that I think is pronounced **owie** (I can't think of how else that mash up of vowels should be pronounced) and because it's for migraines I think...*well played aimovig* I also noticed some time ago that Forfivo (buproprion 450mg)
In the act, they cite material to which they referred to assist their decision making. One study is from the UK, where vaping is appreciated and encouraged because it helps a lot of people stop inhaling carcinogenic tobacco smoke and so far, has not delivered any notable health problems. It's been a
I got given the option to trial erenumab today while going for my 12 weekly Botox appointment. I had to choose between the two and thought it seemed worth a shot. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s tried it yet, especially anyone that’s also tried Botox. How was your experience? Did it help (espec
Hi r/pharmacy, Pharmacy student here in Australia, where erenumab (Aivomig) is supposed to be approved this November. I just wanted to get ahead of the curve and find out how many patients you see prescribed this medication, whether they are concommitantly taking other prophylaxis, and if they take

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
