Has anyone else had emgality injections for migraines? Side effects?
I have been on emgality injections for 3 months about to do my fourth one. I have had some side effects that my neuro dr says can't be from the injections. This is the only new med I have started in 4 months. Long story short, I have been very fatigue, high blood pressure, dizzy spells, ringing in the ears, and almost like sinusitis infection. About 2 weeks after first injection dr put me on antibiotics and steroids for a severe sinusitis infection and double ear infections. I felt better till I got the second injection now I have the same symptoms all the time some days or worse than others and some days are good. I also have back pain along with hand swelling for about a week to 2 weeks each time I get injections. My health insurance is very strict and my family dr has to refer me to specialist. What should I do or are these side effects normal. Yes my migraines are so much better than they were but I don't know if I can live with the side effects.

Hello all,
Botox injections for one year has been unsuccessful. Next week I will begin with Emgality injections. I’m seeking feedback from anyone. I’ve done some research & it seems those peptides & protein might be quite helpful (smile)
Neither worked for me, but everyone is different. Keep searching.

Emgality was the best thing I ever did. 5 years migraine free and migraines ruined my life before. I got lucky, NO side effects. After 5 years it stopped working so now I am looking for an alternate but I would highly recommend Emgality!!!

2 Reactions@mizbbd I take Emgality once a month and Propranolol twice a day, and I have been migraine free for a year! Emgality really helps me. I hope it helps you too!

3 ReactionsWe all have different problems, but this web has been very helpful. People who suffer with these awful
headaches helps with their different soulations. I have Occiptal Neurologia a form of mirgrain but treated
differently. As I have aged my "flair up" weeks have increased more servere so I am on a journey to search out any
help I can get . Most pain meds do not respond, massage, exercise help a little not much. Connected to my muscles so onward in Calif.

3 Reactions@suszy39 Botox has helped me with headaches. I would say they helped about 50 % I had Botox 4 times the first 2 didn't help much at all the last two have helped so don't give up if the first 2 don't help Bernie Boy
