![]() I even cried a little because it was just unbelievable to me.Įvery year for all my years I had little to no relief for tension headaches, exercise induced pounding headaches, hormonal headaches…just wow. It’s definitely like striking gold when you find something that FINALLY helps after all those crushing years and trauma. jeez, I better not do anything to take this relief away, so I just lay there in my bed so very thankful for relief. I was skeptical of course, but after trying a pill during one of my episodes, about 90 minutes later it lifted almost completely. I had tried pretty much everything out there and nothing helped much, UNTIL I found Nurtec. It was night and day.one day fine, the next.a zombie! No matter wh at position I’d try, or anything else, the immense pain was mind numbing and torturous, and it just wouldn’t budge. Anyway, throughout my whole entire life I was living in fear of getting these headaches and the excruciating pain it caused, sometimes for days on end! That healing caring touch lead me to become a massage therapist later in life, and 20 years later I’m still helping others. When I was a kid I’d lay on the couch in so much pain and all my dad could do was lightly touch my face to help get my mind off of it. I’m a 44 y/o female who has had terrible migraines since.I can remember. So far no side effects and it is working amazing, takes away the nausea, pain and most importantly for me it takes away any brain fog so I can actually focus on work. I'm taking it every other day as both a preventative and treatment. I was devastated but then my doctor helped me get approved for Nurtec. I was on Emgality which worked awesome for about a year and a half but then gradually quit working as my immune system zapped the antibodies. I've also heard some can have their doctor challenge medicaid and get it covered, not sure about the process there. ![]() I had given up on Nurtec over a year ago because my insurance wouldn't cover it at all, so they put me on Emgality but then this year they reconsidered (guess they figure it's cheaper than hospitalizations and ER visits when my rescue meds fail). We suffer so much and deserve treatment so don't give up and find a doctor who will fight for you. I want to start out by pointing out that this medication is extremely expensive and if not for the manufacturer's program there is no way I could afford the copay. The ta ste was a mild mint and wasn't unpleasant. Fortunately the pills are small and the amount of Sucralose is tiny enough not to trigger me (and I am super sensitive so anyone out there who is too, maybe you can tolerate it, worth a try). I hesitated in trying this medication because it does contain Sucralose which is a migraine trigger for me (I contacted the manufacturer and asked them to please make a formulation without it) but decided to go ahead and try Nurtec since Emgality quit working for me.
