Hey there. I have read some articles stating that cgrps in our body are literally everywhere and naturally helps with inflammation. So using these meds that block that may not be good long term. I have some chronic back pain that lately has been so bad. I feel more inflamed than I have in a very long time. I am in constant pain. Could the med be causing this I am wondering. I am on month 6.

I'm an artist with TBI and MS - and migraine. ? Before and after Ajovy at 3 weeks. Pretty amazing for me. Before I had Cefaly and Rizatriptan. Now I've added the Ajovy injection but have to switch to Emgality because of insurance. I'm expecting the same outcome. ?? submitted by /u/_dianadeavila [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I took my first dose of Ajovy and I felt almost immediate effects for my vestibular migraines. Things have been steadier and the headaches have been mostly gone. However, it's affected my gastroparesis... Especially this week and I’m working through some constipation (I have MS with neurogenic bowel and use anal irrigation - Peristeen daily). I remember this abdominal pain when I tried Nurtec and Quilipta. It feels like being kicked in the gut. My insurance only approved Emgality, and I am scheduled to give myself my loading dose on May 8. I'd have to fail that to egt Ajovy again. Can anyone ..read more

I’ve been on it for a week and been vomiting and I’ve been nauseous all the time! Is anyone else getting symptoms like this? No appetite either. submitted by /u/Weak-Background-7726 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

This is a follow-up to https://reddit.com/r/cgrpMigraine/comments/1c1nir9/request_for_community_input_on_allowing/. After a lot of internal discussion, and a round of feedback from the community, we have decided to allow researchers to solicit participants in studies at /r/cgrpmigraine. As discussed at the original post, all research studies here will need to be pre-approved by the mods and be research-board approved (in the US this means the IRB -- Institutional Review Board). There was a poll, and the results were 7-1 in favor of allowing it. Some of those in favor did voice concerns, which ..read more

I had a medical shot protocol previously for another condition, and occasionally in that protocol, the Doctor occasionally misses the optimal location. Way different medicine, but I've had migraine pain on and off for several days after taking my 3rd shot (3rd month, 2 to begin) and the first 2 months were honestly miraculous. I inject myself, this time in a pinch of large 'beer-belly'. Could I have missed? submitted by /u/Tech-no [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am having toothpain on the whole right side and it's been for about a week. My dentist confirmed my teeth are perfect other than I have evidence of clenching my teeth. Has anyone heard anything about this being a side effect of CGRP medicines? The only new thing really I have going on is a new CGRP med I've taken for the last month. It just makes me wonder if it's related. submitted by /u/PotatoKingMom [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So I’ve tried nurtec and ubrevly and they did nothing to help my migraine. Qulipta doesn’t get rid of it but the pain is a lot duller and the flashes I get through the day are significantly less painful than when I was on nurtec. It’s also helped me loose weight and my brain fog is slowly improving. I just hate that qulipta makes me sweaty and constipated, I’m also on meds to manage my sweating. I live in a very hot arid environment and I’m scared for summer, anyone have tips submitted by /u/Impressive_Crow6274 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I did try a search but wasn't quite finding the answer. I have a permanent headache that I've been experiencing for 4 years now, not a single moment without pain, it fluctuates but never stops. Neuro now trying me on Ajovy, anyone here in the same position? I'm wondering if I'm hoping for a reduction in severity only, or if I might experience any time completely free from pain... I've also asked the neuro but response times are painfully slow on the NHS. Thanks all submitted by /u/PritchRx [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
