I have a diagnosis of chronic migraine. Have been unable to do very much for the last eight years because there are so many triggers for me.

I have been taking the monthly injections of Aimovig for six months and have seen a great reduction in the severity and frequency of my migraine attacks. It's not a cure, but it sure is making it easier for me to again have a life.

Good luck with your research. Migraine.com has a lot of info.
