#Nurtec is a miracle drug for migraine sufferers that many insurance companies are denying coverage for (most migraines affect women btw so guess why?) Misogyny is alive and kicking in medicine. It’s is a debilitating neurological disorder, not “just a headache.” Comments, migraine girlies #pfizer

On my second #nurtec of the day. This migraine is VICIOUS. 😭😭😭
Y'all. This is the worst #migraine I've had in awhile. The pressure is steadily dropping, and the pain has me nauseated. I've already taken #Qulipta, #Nurtec, even #ExcedrinMigraine. And #Zofran.
I'm miserable.
consider this yet another one of my unpaid endorsements for #Nurtec, lentil soup, baba ganoush, and a gallon of water
Understanding Gepant medications for migraine:
#Ubrelvy: Treats active migraines
#Qulipta: Prevents migraines
#Nurtec ODT: Both treats and prevents
All are CGRP receptor antagonists ("gepants"). Talk to your doctor about options.
Nelson, I go to all of my doctors & beg them for samples of Trelegy b/c I can’t afford it. Mè das vergüenza pero lo tengo que hacer para vivir. 😢
#Same with my #Emgality #Nurtec because they’re extremely expensive! 😢😢 This is our America! 😢
at age 61 I was Rx'd #Nurtec. A miracle medicine. After trying different doses, 1 pill every other day WORKED. If you have ever had a Migraine, then you know that the Auras can be nauseating & cause dizziness so you can't stand or walk. I can't EAT. The pain is usually on one side & my teeth will
Good morning, besties. Breathe deep. Think positive. Reminder that migraines aren’t headaches.

Took a #nurtec and still have a migraine hours later.
That means I'm dying, right?
