Question: Steroids and Migraines

(I do not own this photo).
I know steroid tapers and sometimes iv infusions are used to treat intractable migraines. I used to be the girl with daily migraibes lots of hospitalizations and no treatment options that were working. I am one of the lucky few that is a super responder to Aimovig and now live with 2-5 migraines per month and use Ubrelvy for an abortive. I am on other meds for other conditions. Recently I was on a prednisone taper for one of my other conditions and have had a low level "headache" keep building into a full migriane and back down again for almost a week now. I had the worst migriane I have had since started Aimovig 2 yrs ago last night. 3an it was gone. Now experiencing low level "headache" again. It seems like rebound butI haven't been over using ubrelvy because I only get 6 per month! Has anyone had steroids flare their migraines? (I recognize this is not a place to seek medical advice and will also be speaking to my neurologist. #Migraine #ChronicMigraines #Headache #CGRPantibodydrugs #aimovig #Ubrelvy #Steroids #Prednisone

I have been using the injection Aimovig for one month thus far. Has anyone had or having a substantial improvement while using this medication? #Migraine #aimovig #treatment #Medication #Injection #TraumaticBrainInjury

A year to the day...

A year to the day that the FDA approved Aimovig for migraine prevention, my first official insurance covered dose showed up in the mail. I’m so grateful and full of hope that I will be able to live a somewhat normal life someday. Hopefully, sooner rather than later! #aimovig #ChronicMigraines

Has anyone been using amivig?

I was prescribed amivig and after a long battle with my insurance company I finally got it. I was googling people’s experiences with it and I read that a lot of people were losing a significant amount of hair and a lot of doctors were reporting it to the FDA. I want to take it because I want some relief but I’m so worried about my hair, I know it’s not the worst thing you can lose but sometimes my hair is the only thing that makes me feel good.

#aimovig

I’m starting aimovig today. I just finished a 6 day migraine taper. I’m really praying this stuff works.
