- I was so excited when my insurance company approved me for the Aimovig. I've been suffering with migraines for 30+ years. I have tried literally every drug under the sun. Don't get me wrong, I have an amazing headache specialist. I don't know how I...
- The 2nd cgrp drug was just approved by the FDA on Sept. 14, called AJOVY. This one you can get either monthly or quarterly.I believe there will be a 3rd one out later this year, and a 4th one out some time next year. From my understanding, they all...
- First, I was pretty shocked. I'm on disability for my migraines, so I'm on federal insurance.I knew that put me at a disadvantace already. At my headache center, my doctor told me that many of their patients have already been denied and are in the...
- A new class of drugs called CGRPs are a group of injectibles used to prevent migraines. The first one has just been approved by the FDA. I believe 2 more should be approved this year, and the 4th should be approved in 2019. The headache community...
- This group has been very quiet for a while, though I see some people have joined. So if anyone is around, say hello. I always check on this group just in case. Hello to anyone who is around :)Yvette
- Anyone who is on this board knows how much I complain about my migraines. Well, Summer is just one big migraine trigger. I've barely been able to get out of bed since the end of May. It happens every Summer, then once Fall really hits, it gets so...
- I see we have new people in the group, and a bunch of others I haven't seen around for a while. So even if you're just a lurker, let us know who's here.Yvette
- I was here last year...early last year I think. I got really off track, and gained additional weight. But I'm done with it. I'm sticking with it with (a lot) of weight to lose. But this time I have better tools to work with that is helping me get...
- I see we have some new members, and haven't heard from many others. Just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays, and I hope you are not in too much pain.It was raining this morning, so I had a horrible migraine. Totally useless and I'm having dinner...
- I'm sorry I had to make this thread. I just responded to someone saying that aspirin and codeine are SAFE because they come from PLANTS!! For the love of gods, where do people get their medical information from???? You can't go and pick a codeine...
- People can take this for what it is or not, I'm just going to tell you how I ran this experiment. I have both a fitbit charge HR and a regular pedometer. I was getting wildly different numbers on each. Turned out I didn't have the correct stride...
- Ok, I know many experts will say not to weigh yourself everyday. I understand why. They don''t want you to dwell on little fluctuations. Yet I have also read that people who do weigh themselves everyday do better because it keeps them accountable...
- I know what I want to say, and I know how it might sound. Just please don't think that I gained weight on purpose, and stayed this weight on purpose.I HATE, HATE, HATE being this weight. I don't know how many people in this group know that I had...
- One of the hardest things for me to do is to motivate myself to BEGIN to exercise. Once I start, it's not a problem, but starting itself is such a hurdle. I've been on the slimfast diet for almost a month now, and honestly it's not doing enough fast...
- Ok, I'm trying this again. By New Years, I hit an all time high of 196 lbs. So I have 60 lbs to lose. I already started back on my slimmest/plant based diet. 2-3 shakes a day, and anything else that I eat has to be either fruit or vegetable, or nuts...
