Learning to use Emgality

Trying not to feel isolated in yet another new normal... I can feel alone in the process of dealing with medical changes. I can feel alone in the reality that I am dealing with these things that are both mine to decide on and my consequences to deal with... it can get heavy.
But hey, you are here!
Thanks for joining me as I did this “scary to me” experience.
This was my loading dose and I had never used this medication before, what a wild experience. But. Me, you, my empty room and Emgality. We did it!
I suggest if you or I feel alone we reach out... to someone.
July is Christmas themed!

I’m proud of you. Thanks for sharing. I had such a difficult time with mine, especially when they gave me the pre filled syringes instead of the pen. That was difficult in more ways than physical.

Tried that one too. I was doing this kind then went to the other manual and back to this kind and I think I’d rather do manual now.

My neuro is placing me on these for my migraines I have daily and that wake me up in the night I have brain dmange, lesions, tbi and other brian conditions. Yesterday he gave me the first two in the office to get me by while we go through my insurance to get it. Crosisng my finger I can get it and that it works. My migraines are so bad I vomit and stuff too and can’t sleep and they have sent me into epileptic seizures many times. So let’s hope I can get it and it helps. He also is having me in ubrelvy as need for the breakthrough ones I may have with the injection. Idk if u have this. Hopefully it goes through insurance too . The injection did hurt pretty good he did in my arm . Hopefully it gets easier. Thank u for ur video. I know it’s old video. Hope it has helped u
