My son's migraine journey

[Lotusflower70]

So I took him for his appointment with his neurologist and he is being switched from Botox to Emgality. I am so thankful for the insurance and the great healthcare that he has. His neurologist is phenomenal. The University hospital is so supportive. I knew it was only a matter of time before he was switched. Here's hoping this is the answer. I guess at his next appointment she is thinking about getting rid of the Zolmig too. This medicine can only be authorized by 4 neurologists at the University hospital, luckily he has one of them. Hopefully things will start to go in a more positive direction for him.

1. Positive thoughts your son's way. It's so hard to watch our children suffer.

It's helpful that he has such a supportive parent. My father had migraines so bad he was often suicidal. He learned biofeedback and swore by it. Just throwing that out there. I'm sure everyone is different.

4. I feel so helpless

But we keep trying different things. Hopefully something works soon.

2. Best of luck to him. Aimovig has worked well for me so far.

6. He got to pick

The medication he could switch to. He chose to try Emgality. His neurologist is really empowering him with his own health care. She is just phenomenal.

5. Thank you

He tracks his migraines. Out of the last 90 days, he had migraines 45 of those days.

7. Not much of a quality of life.

I know it must be heartbreaking for you as his mom. Be sure to take care of yourself. ❤

8. I know right

I feel terrible for him. I am generally a positive person and it kills me to see him going through this. I would take all his pain if I could but I can't. But I will continue to fight like hell for him to get answers.
