My First Emgality Injection

[@couponingjen1581]

I have to pick up my Emgality today and do the 2 doses and honestly I’m terrified lol I don’t mind someone else sticking me but me having to is terrifying. My husband can but I feel I need to be in control of the needle 🤣 you made this look so easy. I hope you get relief :) migraines are so life shattering

Oh gosh thank you so much for the kind words. I had practice with the Aimovig I’ve taken before. And truthfully I found it a lot easier than other needles in that I don’t actually have to see the needle go into my skin. And I do like the fact that it does have the colour fill up and the clicks so you can know for sure it’s done. I hope it gets you some relief as well lovely. Chronic pain is such an awful thing to have and any relief is most welcome. Take care and stay safe lovely.

I just picked mine up today and I’m waiting for my husband to be off before I try them just in case because I’m also fighting thyroid cancer :/ I plan on doing one in one thigh and one in the other lol 😂 I came back to watch your video to calm me down again. You made it look like it was no big deal I hope mine is the same way .

Oh totally understandable. I made sure I had someone with me too. Good luck lovely. And you’ll kick cancer’s butt.

Hey Alex - I just came across this... I have hydro and am taking Emgality too. I see you haven't posted a video in a while - how are things going?

Hi Amy. Thank you so much for checking in. Things have been insane this past year with the pandemic and my symptoms being all over the place. I’m actually working on an “I’m back” video and blog post. Hoping to post it super soon. Hope you’re doing ok ☺️☺️

Hi I wanted to check back in and see how you are doing with your injections ? I did my injections on May 4th in each side of my stomach myself lol it didn’t hurt on one side the other hurt and bled but not a bad hurt . It has helped me so much I’ve had like 1-2 migraines but the rescue meds knocked them out . I feel like I’m getting my life back :) I’ll be doing my 2nd injection in June

Oh my gosh that’s so amazing to hear!! I’m so happy for you lovely. I have my next injection dr week. I haven’t noticed too much of a change but my nerve damage is so pervasive that they were pretty sure it’ll take a while for me to notice but I’m still hopeful. Again I’m so happy for you lovely. Take care 😊🦄🦋🌸🌺
