A review of treating 10-year chronic migraines with a shot💉

My mother has had severe migraines, and she has been taking prescribed medication from neurology for about 10 years.

Even when there was nothing wrong with her condition, she would often feel bloated, and when she did, she would get headaches; this had become a daily occurrence.
I tried medication treatment, but it wasn't very effective, so I received migraine treatment with injections based on my doctor's recommendation.

 

 

Existing migraine treatment methods

When tested, there were no issues with the digestive system, and you have been managing while taking medication for migraines.

Even those who have experienced mild migraines would understand,

Migraine medication only relieves the pain temporarily; the pain can come back at any time.

Even after trying migraine prevention medication, iron supplements, magnesium, and herbal medicine, there was no significant improvement, and the frequency of headaches actually increased.
I've been taking the medication for such a long time that I started to worry if it's really okayㅠㅠ

Then, the supervising professor mentioned that many new effective medications for migraines have been developed, and suggested trying injection treatment for migraine therapy.

When the medication was first introduced, it was not covered by insurance, but now it is covered by actual cost insurance, so the financial burden is less than before.

So, I decided to get a shot called Ajovy for migraine treatment.

It is a self-injection syringe that looks like the picture on the medication container.

The interval varies depending on the patient's condition, but my mother had it once a month.

 

 

Migraine treatment after 3 months

According to my mother, some people have experienced their headaches disappear immediately after receiving the treatment, as seen in other reviews.

The first month had minimal effects, so the difficult period came quickly, but I was patient. In the second month, the frequency decreased, and from the third month onward, they said they didn't feel any pain at all!!
They now say they no longer feel the sensation that their head might hurt strongly before a migraine.

Thinking about how you've been suffering from migraines for over 10 years since you first started treatment makes me feel so overwhelmed with emotionㅠㅠㅜ

 

 

Side effects

It was mentioned that there could be side effects such as hair loss, swelling, or itching.

My mom has a slight case of constipation... but it's not serious, and she says she'd rather have constipation than a headache 😅

 

According to the professor, there are many patients who haven't experienced a recurrence for several years after injection treatment and no longer come.

There are other types of injections besides Azovi, and they can also be covered by insurance.

For those who have suffered from chronic migraines for a long time, consider trying a migraine injection treatment~
