I started this in March and it helped me from day one - no migraines. However, I recently developed ringing in my ears and am concerned that it may be a side effect. I'm going to an ENT and will stop the medication if it's the issue.

Day 14, the headache is felt worse upon awaking. Today like a 6. Not working for me. Plus, my left hand is hurting for no reason. Like a tendinitis or something and no reason for that to occur.

I just took my 3rd month dose 48 hours ago. Emgality has been a game-changer for my 30 year history of migraines.

I just took my 3rd month dose 48 hours ago. Emgality has been a game-changer for my 30 year history of migraines. I had never taken a preventive treatment and saw my neurologist to consider prevention. I had minor side effect of redness and little itching at injection site my first two months, but nothing like this 3rd month reaction. At 24hr after injection my redness developed a hive of 4x3 inches. At about 46hr after injection the welp has doubled in size (8x6). I am not having any other side effect besides the skin reaction and self treating with otc Benadryl (past 18hrs). It is Saturday and have placed a call to my doctor answering service if additional treatment is needed since the allergic reaction has become worse. I don't think I'll be able to continue Emgality and hoping another preventive Rx is available that is as effective on preventing migraines. My headaches have gone from 15 a month to average 3 since on Emgality.

I took Aimovig for 4 months and stopped because since the first shot my hair was falling out. Same problem with Emgality, I injected myself for the first time 3 weeks ago and hair loss began almost immediately. Going back to botox injections, no side effects with that.
