This was very informative and fascinating - thank you for sharing! I’m definitely interested in the role CGRP plays in the other systems in our bodies and the potential long term effects of blocking them. I have tried Ajovy, Emgality, Aimovig, and Ubrelvy with little to no response. I finally tried Nurtec which works as an abortive for me. However after reading about how it was approved preventatively June 2021, I asked my neurologist, and I just started taking it every other day about a week and a half ago. I’m surprised to find that so far, it seems to actually have slightly reduced my chronic neck pain (cause of it isn’t quite clear) as well. I do have concerns about taking the CGRP antagonists long term, since we have no long term studies, and would definitely be interested in more info on CGRPs outside of migraines. If anyone has any suggestions of videos about this please let me know. Thank you!
I had really itchy spots all over my ankles and elbows and the injection area with Emgality....burning itching for about 5 days !! And my elbow joints swelled up. But only 2 migraines the past month. I used to have daily migraines. This was my first time so debating wether to have the second shot.

I had the Emgality injection four days ago and also have an autoimmune disease, I woke in middle of night itching all over and Benadryl did not help.
