lifetime migraine suffering has stopped thanks to Aimovig self injection medication prescribed by the VA Hospital. This stuff is life changing.
Hey guys uncle nate um uh anybody that knows me knows that i’ve been suffering from um migraine headaches for the longest time i mean literally uh migraine headaches since i was probably you know nine years old eight or nine years old i remember being you know maybe 10 years old and my head hurting so bad that i literally would um i banged my head against
The the end of my bed and basically knocked myself out just because i was in so much pain and i couldn’t take it anymore and those headaches just got insurmountably worse after probably my first tour in afghanistan or in iraq i’m sorry um exposure to ieds and clearance blasts i think is probably what uh brought that on because i probably was a little too
Close um during that time frame we were we kind of knew about blast radiuses but we didn’t know the effect that the um that the blast had on us if you will um so where we may have been physically safe um we weren’t necessarily protecting you know what was important which is up here and um so i just wanted to make a video kind of you know what my previous
Treatment was you know it was a regimen of like you know propanol and then periodically i would take um sumatriptan i think it was when the headache came on board and um and that worked okay that worked all right but you still had to endure the headache when it came on board and then um i switched to starting to do the um what do you call it the um i’m
Sorry having a brain dump one of the effects seems to be memory loss of simple things but um uh you know where you can get the shots in your face without for wrinkles or whatever i’m having a total brain dump i cannot think of a word right now but anyway that was um working great but you had to get like 30 something shots in your head you know literally all
Over your your forehead in in your your top of your head you would go in and they literally just put you know shots all through your head you know 30 something needles um some people don’t even like taking one shot and so you know after a while and you’re doing that every 30 days no not every three months um so after a while i was just like this is this is
Ridiculous so then i turned around and i went back to the doctor i got an amazing doctor at the veterans administration the va hospital here in um temple and uh and she put me on to this uh ameg and um i’ll show you basically what it is what the process is and i do this once a month they’ve set me up on you know refills um and they send it to me you know
Almost automatically every 30 days i get my my little box and this is basically what it looks like so it’s basically like a little box and it comes it’s like a cooler you see that in the big 70 milligrams and it’s basically it’s a self-injector and all you got to do i’m cutting the package on it so you can see it when you open it up let’s see here open it up
Products instructions and you get this little pin right so basically you have this auto injector right take this white cap off there’s a little white cap that comes off of it pops out of the end all right and then all you got to do yes find your fat normally push it push it all the way in like this and you’ll see there’s a little window pushing it in
That’s it doesn’t hurt it’s a teeny tiny little needle um that like said it goes in you push it it automatically injects the fluid based off you know like spring pressure it automatically injects the fluid into um into that point that you injected it and then as soon as all of the fluid is out the medication is out it automatically retracts and then a little
Safety mechanism pops up and i normally just put the cap back in it stick it back in the box and toss it out so it honestly um no headaches no headaches i’m talking about none unless it’s like a sinus headache but the usual migraine headaches that i’ve been in during my entire life don’t get them anymore and it’s because of this stuff now i don’t know um
I’ve been on it for about five months i want to say haven’t seem to have any side effects um you know just the the the the elation that goes with not having a headache so um yeah i just wanted to put that together just in case somebody was curious about what emovig is and alternative treatments to migraine headaches so hope you guys uh have a good one talk to you later
