My son's new medication [View all]
Well he got his medication yesterday. It's one of the new ones called Emgality. It's injectable. He used it for the first time. I watched him use it. One poke in each thigh. I has a spring action mechanism. He hates needles but I think trying the botox and the 31 injections each time helped get him beyond that. So 2 pokes in the thigh were nothing for him. I was amazed that each one would have been $600 without insurance but with insurance it was 0. I am feeling grateful. I am trying to remain hopeful. He tracks his migraines and out of the last 90 days, he had migraines for 45 days. He is so strong and resilient. My sweet fighter. He deserves to be free from pain and suffering. He is just so damn sweet, funny and kind. Then there is the insomnia and depression, it feels like if we can get a handle on one part, it will be less of a struggle to get the rest to fall in to place. I came home today and he was working out. He loves to exercise. I truly believe that we are going to find the answers for him to live his best life. I just want him to be healthy, happy and whole. Time will tell if this is the answer. Focusing on the positive. I really appreciate all the love, support and advice I have gotten from so many here. It has had a powerful impact.
