New drugs? It’s really about the fact that patents are running out or have run out on the old ones. Sorry, most of our headaches are caused by the food we are forced to eat unless you can grow your own.

I am one who is now suffering every 3/4 days and in between I have something, which I was told is nerve/myofascial pain from my FMS.
I find that sometimes my Triptan Migard (Frova) just doesn’t work and that this is when it is not migraine….sure hurts a lot though.
No nausea, but dreadful pain under the occipital and in my neck up to the top of head. i have trouble discerning.
So I look forward to this new drug, but wonder if I have have two problems and need to try to find an answer to these “other” pains.
thank yuo for posting this James.

Well, there are certainly some encouraging developments with the new drugs in development – many more than just this one. Hopefully the insurance companies will see many more people staying out of the hospital!

very interesting. I am hopeful that perhaps, I myself, will be able to tolerate this drug with my own type of migraines – complicated with variant ( and hemiplegic). I’ve also had a reaction to triptans in the past. To date, my only abortive is Toradol. And the fight with the insurance company to keep my preventatives is constant.
