I suffer from chronic DAILY migraines for months now. I get Botox injections every 3 months and Emgality injections every month for prevention. I have been on high doses of pain medication for a shoulder injury that required surgery 3 months ago.
Rebound migraines
My headache Physician has told me I am suffering from rebound migraines due to all the pain meds AND all the triptans (I take about 1-2 sometimes DAILY!!). So I finally took his advice and basically stopped the triptans and only take Ubrevly or Nurtec (which do not cause rebound migraine) and guess what??!!
Relief
I have not had a migraine for the first time in months for 5 days now!!!!! I am soooo happy! My life has felt hopeless, it has been debilitating just to get through my daily living activities so I am now hopeful the Botox and Emgality can finally start to do their work! I have hope of a normal life again!!!!
