@lisalucier Dear Lisa, i’m so sorry I did not get back to you sooner on your post. I’m appreciate this info and also I was out of the country for two months. I belong to at least two groups on this site. The two meds I was referring to are: Rizatriptan &Sumatriptan. my neurologist had prescribed these for active pain of a migraine headache —they did absolutely nothing. I am now on my second month of Emgality injections and so far it seems to be working. Well, the Amoivg worked very well for the first five months but after eight months, I don’t think they were working at all. most of the time when I get a migraine headache, I take butalbital, which works great for me and my primary care physician prescribes it. it is the only medication that works for pain, but my neurologist won’t prescribe it, which is a moot point I guess. He is totally against controlled substances. I think I explained this to another person on our site that he prescribed LDN to someone who later OD on it so he’s not even willing to try that for me . anyway it’s a difficult combination having what is called fibromyalgia and chronic migraine for well over 30 years now it’s just something that’s ongoing and if I feel I wanna make a change I’ll find somebody who will help me do that. after reading the links in your last post I do believe that I am having increased symptoms of Reynaulds syndrome as a result, perhaps, of using these injectables, however, I did have it before.
