Yes, I wanted to tell you to get on the Nurtec.com site and they will give you a code for FREE Nurtec. I’ve had 4 of the 8 packs refilled. But I’m sad because after week 3, Nurtec stopped working. Then I asked my doctor for Qulipta. She had Qulipta samples. I had, had a post covid 3 week long daily migraine at that point. I had to shut myself in my bathroom or bedroom for the 3 weeks and the Qulipta worked for a week and then I became severely allergic to it. But it gave me a short break from the migraines. I’m waiting to get into a neurologist and a pain clinic. Both appts are many months away. My pcp has given me other old fashion migraine meds mixed with caffeine that do nothing. But I had long covid the first time for 4 months then snap it went 90% away. Then I went back to my dental hygiene job and a sick patient came in and he gave me covid and now I have long haul for 9 months with a lot more symptoms. Just touching my head on a pillow and any changes in light balance etc etc hurts so bad. It’s 6:14 am and I can’t sleep when my head is this bad. I can’t have the tv on. And can be on the phone completely dimmed for very short times. Please share any meds anyone else has found helpful!!!🙏🏼 Haley

I am post covid since September 2021 and the only thing that works for my migraines have been the combo of qulipta daily with nurtec. This sucks, because after awhile it stops working and you have to suffer for a while then start it back up the same combo. It's like your body gets use to it. Good luck and let me know if you find anything better.
