Suffer from migraines for 25 years... [View all]

And i have tried, no lie, I bet 25 different preventatives (eg, topamax, depakote, amotrypiline, beta blockers, etc, etc). No good luck. But....In January, I got my first dose of self-injected Aimovig. 3 weeks in, Ive seen dramatic improvement. Im making it 3or 4 days headache free.

Unfortunately, it's $700 per shot per month.

So far, Life changing!
