I'm beginning to have one.

This is really just a way for me to document what's happening. I appreciate any and all questions.

I had a sharp pain in the right side of my head and instantly that side of my face went numb. About 30 seconds after my right arm started tingling and my ring and pinky fingers went numb. The inside of my leg down to my foot followed shortly after. Mentally I feel okay. I already feel loss of strength in my right side as well.

This all started about 20 minutes ago.

Has anyone had very adverse effects on Emgality?

Hello all my fellow companions in misery....

I have failed 3 different preventatives and was approved for Emgality. I took my first dose last Friday (5/22). It wasn't a loading dose. Just a monthly 120mg dose. Idk if that matters to what I'm going through or not. But it's not my first injectable. We've also tried Ajovy. Anyways. I have felt like garbage for the last week. Just curious if anyone else has had the same experience.

I have had extreme fatigue. I usually sleep 4-6 hours a day and totally fine. I've been sleeping 15+ since. Dizziness comes in waves, laying down or standing up. I can't even walk 10 ft to the bathroom at times without feeling like I'm just going to fall over. Nausea, body aches, anxiety, headache but different from my migraines. Just in general feeling crap and incapable of doing anything.

I'm waiting for my neurologist to get back to me on what I can do. My PC isn't familiar with the medicine and the fact that it's an injectable they're at a loss.

If anyone has gone through this I would really like some advice. Or at least validation I'm not the only one feeling this way after a new medication.
